AWS Import/Export Snowball now support Export
2016-02-29 / 221 words / 2 minutes
Moving data into Amazon over the internet is a time consuming process. AWS Import/Export Snowball has supported import to Amazon for a while now. The export from Amazon feature was announced on the Official AWS Blog 29 Feb 2016.
Import Costs
Moving data into Amazon over the internet is a time consuming process. But at least you aren’t paying for the data transfer into Amazon (source). Amazon suggests that it takes 12 days to transfer 100TB using 80% of a 1000Mbps internet connection (source) and calctool.org confirms this figure.
Export Costs
Moving data out of Amazon over the internet incurs data transfer charges. These vary widely but seem to be a minimum of $0.085 per GB if you’re transferring over 350TB of data, whether that data is coming from from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances (source) or S3 (source) in the US-East-1 region.
A single Snowball appliance holds 50TB (source). It costs a $200 Service Fee plus shipping fees plus $0.03 per GB for data transfer. So it would cost 200 + 50 x 1000 x 0.03 = $1700 to transfer 50TB, compared to a cost of 50 x 1000 x 0.085 = $4250 in AWS outbound data costs to transfer over the internet, or 2.5x.
