Look up current AWS on-demand list prices. No account, key or signup needed. Use this to answer "what does X cost", to sanity-check a bill, or to price a design before building it. Prices come from AWS's own published price files and are refreshed on a schedule; the reply carries the book version so you can say how current the number is. `service` is one of the names from `list_priced_services` (for example `ec2`, `rds`, `s3`, `lambda`, `ebs`, `data_transfer`, `nat_gateway`). `region` is an AWS region id such as `ap-south-1` or `eu-west-1`. `match` narrows within a service and is the parameter you will use most: pass `t3.medium` for one instance type, `gp3` for one volume type, or leave it empty to see everything that service publishes in that region. Matching is a plain substring against the rate's dimensions, so partial values work. `quantity` selects the pricing band for anything billed in tiers, which includes S3 storage, data transfer out and Lambda duration. Pass the monthly amount in the rate's own unit (GB, GB-seconds) to get the band that amount actually falls in. Leaving it at 0 gives the first band, which OVERSTATES the cost of large volumes: egress at 500 TB is materially cheaper per GB than at 100 GB. These are list prices before any discount, private pricing, credit or committed-use agreement, and they exclude tax. Treat them as an upper bound on a real bill. If nothing matches, the reply says so and lists what that service does publish in that region, so you can correct the term rather than guess again.
