AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01)- How AWS Pricing Works – Part 2

The video tutorial provides an in-depth review of AWS billing and pricing, focusing on various services like EC2, Lambda, EBS, S3, Glacier, and Snowball. It explains the factors influencing pricing, such as instance type, load balancing, and autoscaling for EC2, and the benefits of per second billing. The tutorial also covers AWS Lambda's pricing based on compute time and requests, EBS pricing based on volume type and data transfer, and S3 and Glacier pricing based on storage class and retrieval options. Finally, it discusses Snowball's pricing for large-scale data transfers.
