Ask HN: Are AWS network charges in GB (gigabytes) or GiB (gibibytes)
- 1 GB = 1000 MB (1000 bytes ^ 3)

- 1 GiB = 1073 MB (1024 bytes ^ 3)

The docs don't seem to explicitly mention it. They just say GB.

But AWS has been known to use GB for simplicity in docs - as in https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/.

I have been tearing my hair out trying to get to the bottom of this. It starts to matter when making cost calculations are large scale.
