High network charges forTransitGateway VPC, VpcEndpoint, TGWPeering

0

I have scenario we a user with high network charges. 20% bill is in networking. We here we have high EUC1-TransitGateway-Bytes, EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Hours, EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Bytes charges. The related API operations cost are fromTransitGatewayVPC, VpcEndpoint, TGWPeering-Out.

Customer is not network arch optimized.

  1. Where should we look at possible issues?
  2. Where can find have definition for the following
  3. EUC1-TransitGateway-Bytes, EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Hours, EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Bytes API operations - TransitGatewayVPC, VpcEndpoint, TGWPeering-Out

This is a good blog to help you: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/overview-of-data-transfer-costs-for-common-architectures/

Are there any cross AZ charges ?

Hi, usually networking is around 10% of total bill. Since it is about 20%, I'd recommend a networking architecture review and a deep understanding of costs in Cost Explorer tool. Said that, charges have the synxtax: REGIONNAME-SERVICE-TYPE_OF_CHARGE. So:

  • EUC1-TransitGateway-Bytes are the charges related to the bytes processed by the TGW on region eu-central-1,
  • EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Hours are the charges in eu-central-1 for the hours that you are utilizing the VPC endpoint, and
  • EUC1-VpcEndpoint-Bytes the charges for the processed bytes by the VPC endpoint on eu-central-1

Consider checking if all the traffic that flows through TGW peering could follow another path. Also, consider if a TGW is needed or not answering these questions:

  1. Do you need transitive routing?
  2. Is your scenario complex (10s of VPCs to interconnect and/or hybrid connectivity)?
  3. Do you need high scalability because a high network growth is expected?

If you answer is no to all of them, you could consider a rearchitecture of the topology.
