On-Demand Cache Nodes
On-Demand Cache Nodes let you pay for cache capacity by the hour
your Cache Node runs with no long-term commitments. This frees you
from the costs and complexities of planning, purchasing, and
maintaining hardware and transforms what are commonly large fixed
costs into much smaller variable costs.
Pricing is per Cache
Node-hour consumed, from the time a Cache Node is launched
until it is terminated. Each partial Cache Node-hour consumed will
be billed as a full hour.
Reserved Cache Nodes
With Reserved Cache Nodes, you can make a low, one-time, up-front
payment for each Cache Node you wish to reserve for a 1 or 3 year
term. In return, you receive a significant discount off the ongoing
hourly usage rate for the Cache Node(s) you reserve. Amazon ElastiCache provides three Reserved Cache Node types (Light, Medium, and Heavy Utilization Reserved Cache Nodes) that enable you to balance the amount you pay upfront with your effective hourly price. To learn more about Reserved Cache Nodes, please visit
our Reserved Cache Nodes page.

Data Transfer
Amazon ElastiCache provides strong network level security by allowing access/data transfer only from or to the Amazon EC2 Instances you define as part of your Cache Security Groups.
There is no charge for data transfer between Amazon EC2 and Amazon ElastiCache within the same Availability Zone.
While standard Amazon EC2 Regional Data Transfer charges of $0.01 per
GB in/out apply when transferring data between an Amazon EC2
instance and an Amazon ElastiCache Node in different Availability Zones
of the same Region, you are only charged for the Data Transfer in or
out of the Amazon EC2 instance. There is no Amazon ElastiCache Data
Transfer charge for traffic in or out of the Amazon ElastiCache Node
itself.
As part of AWS’s Free Usage Tier, new AWS customers will receive free 15 GB of data transfer out each month aggregated across all AWS services for one year.
