>Data Transfer from AWS Regions to the Internet is now free for up to 100 GB of data per month (up from 1 GB per region).
Is it 100 GB per region or 100 GB across regions? Because it sounds like the latter.

This only applies to the free tier, which you age out of after a year. Who even cares? Or am I misreading this?
They can do a lot better than this.
edit: It appears that the regional transfer doesn't age out either, even though it isn't explicitly stated in this post (whereas they did state so for Cloudfront).

Let's not poo poo actual competition. If Oracle _wants_ to compete with AWS that's a pretty good thing for everyone.
Yes, it's definitely good if it causes AWS, GCE, Azure, etc to increase allowances to compete, even if you (like me) plan to never touch that Oracle service with a ten foot pole attached to someone else's computer.
You're not the only one. Almost everyone that did significant deals with Oracle at some point has this opinion.

Yeah, but then you have to use Oracle

Yet signing any contract with Oracle is risky, and i would rather pay more than risk dealing with Oracle itself.
but yeah, more competition is always good.

You're misreading it. Only some parts of the free tier "age out". Other parts of the free tier are free forever (it's really stupidly confusing). The things announced in this announcement are free forever.

Right, that's why I quoted the other section.

Thanks, that wasn't clear to me. I'll edit my post.

Not everything in the free tier expires after 12 months. Some remain always free.
Even now you should be getting 1 GB of free out traffic on your older-than-12-months AWS account.
