S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the only cloud storage class that delivers automatic storage cost savings when data access patterns change, without performance impact or operational overhead. The Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class is designed to optimize storage costs by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier when access patterns change. For a small monthly object monitoring and automation charge, S3 Intelligent-Tiering monitors access patterns and automatically moves objects that have not been accessed to lower-cost access tiers.
S3 Intelligent-Tiering is the ideal storage class for data with unknown, changing, or unpredictable access patterns, independent of object size or retention period. You can use S3 Intelligent-Tiering as the default storage class for virtually any workload, especially data lakes, data analytics, new applications, and user-generated content.

There are no S3 data transfer charges when data is transferred in from the internet. Also with S3TA (S3 Transfer Acceleration), you pay only for transfers that are accelerated. Therefore you do not need to pay any transfer charges for the image upload if S3TA did not result in an accelerated transfer.
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration (S3TA)
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration (S3TA) can speed up content transfers to and from Amazon S3 by as much as 50-500% for long-distance transfer of larger objects. Customers who have either web or mobile applications with widespread users or applications hosted far away from their S3 bucket can experience long and variable upload and download speeds over the Internet. S3 Transfer Acceleration (S3TA) reduces the variability in Internet routing, congestion, and speeds that can affect transfers, and logically shortens the distance to S3 for remote applications.
S3TA improves transfer performance by routing traffic through Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed Edge Locations and over AWS backbone networks, and by using network protocol optimizations.
For applications interacting with your Amazon S3 buckets through the S3 API from outside of your bucket’s region, S3TA helps avoid the variability in Internet routing and congestion. It does this by routing your uploads and downloads over the AWS global network infrastructure, so you get the benefit of AWS network optimizations.
Storage
The volume of storage billed in a month is based on the average storage used throughout the month. This includes all object data and metadata stored in buckets that you created under your AWS account. We measure your storage usage in "TimedStorage-ByteHrs," which are added up at the end of the month to generate your monthly charges.
The rate you're charged depends on your objects' size, how long you stored the objects during the month, and the storage class - S3 Standard, S3 Intelligent-Tiering, S3 Standard - Infrequent Access, S3 One Zone - Infrequent Access, S3 Glacier, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive, and Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS). You pay a monthly monitoring and automation fee per object stored in the S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class to monitor access patterns and move objects between access tiers in S3 Intelligent-Tiering.
There are per-request ingest fees when using PUT, COPY, or lifecycle rules to move data into any S3 storage class. Consider the ingest or transition cost before moving objects into any storage class.
If you have objects that are smaller than 1GB or if the data set is less than 1GB in size, you should consider using Amazon CloudFront's PUT/POST commands for optimal performance.
Data Transfer in / out
| PUT, COPY, POST, LIST requests (per 1,000 requests) | GET, SELECT, and all other requests (per 1,000 requests) | Lifecycle Transition requests (per 1,000 requests) |
|---|---|---|
| S3 Standard | $0.005 | $0.0004 |
You pay for all bandwidth into and out of Amazon S3, except for the following
- Data transferred in from the internet.
- Data transferred out to an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, when the instance is in the same AWS Region as the S3 bucket.
- Data transferred out to Amazon CloudFront (CloudFront).
