How to measure the impact of the new AWS IPv4 price charge on your bill
Our customer analysis shows an expected 2.6% increase in the average AWS bill due to the new charge for public IPv4 addresses — if no action is taken.
So, how can you measure how much this will impact you?
You have to first figure out how many public IPv4 addresses you’re using.
To do this you can either:
– Use AWS’s new “Public IP Insights” tool (per account/region), or
– Build a report with AWS Cost Explorer (or the DoiT Console), selecting all “Charge Type” values containing “PublicIPv4:InUseAddress”.
These reports should spit out the total number of monthly hours you’re using public IPv4 addresses for.
Finally, you just multiply those hours by $0.005 to determine how much more you’ll pay every month for IPv4 addresses if you change nothing.
In this episode of Cloud Masters, we explore the new IPv4 pricing charge and how to mitigate its impact on your AWS bill.
