The cost of write requests, too, has been slashed by 55%. Customers using the service via the US East (N. Virginia) region will now have to pay $0.00113 per 1,000 requests without any limit against $0.0025 per 1,000 requests up to 512 KB.
Both data uploads and retrieval components have received price cuts as well — as much as 60% with customers now having to pay $0.0032 and $0.0006 per GB compared to $0.008 and $0.0015 per GB respectively for using the service via the US East (N. Virginia) region.
AWS said the pricing changes will benefit enterprises running performance-intensive workloads, such as interactive data analytics, data streaming, media rendering and transcoding, high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning, and AI training.
This means that AWS customers who are planning to deploy generative AI and agentic AI might be able to take advantage of the storage service.
The change in pricing to Amazon S3 Express One Zone is applicable wherever the service is available, AWS said. Currently, the storage service is available across US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Ireland), and Europe (Stockholm) regions.
