Charges on using Amazon EBS Shared snapshot

Question

What are the charges related to using EBS Shared Snapshot? Please help as i cannot understand that if I share the snapshot will I be charged or not?

Answer 1

You can calculate the charges from the AWS Calculator. The things you need to keep in mind is that If you share a snapshot then you won’t be charged even when other users make a copy of the snapshot created by you. Now, If you make a copy of EBS Snapshot from any other user’s shared volume then you will be charged normal EBS rates.
