I have a 2 seperate 4KB sized files stored in S3 Standard-IA class, how are they billed? Do each 4kb billed for 128KB storage charge i.e, 4kb file billed at 128KB Another 4KB file billed at 128KB

total 256kb of storage for billing? Or

both combined 8KB is considered for 128KB?

Answer 1

You will be charged for 256 KB of storage.

The minimum billing object size is 128 KB. This means if you have 10 files of 1 byte each you will be billed for 10 files of 128 KB or a total of 1,280 KB for billing purposes.
