Deep dives
Understanding Free Data Transfer Out
Free Data Transfer Out (DTO) allows customers to move data from AWS to any other destination without incurring charges, addressing concerns about exit costs for users considering leaving the platform. This initiative was introduced to ensure that AWS customers do not view data transfer services as a barrier to their cloud choices. The program specifically targets customers looking to migrate their workloads entirely off AWS rather than providing support for regular operational tasks like disaster recovery or multi-cloud strategies. AWS aims to give customers the freedom to switch providers without financial constraints, facilitating a smoother transition when needed.
