Wrong. Depends on the use case AWS can be very cheap.

> splitting amongst AZ's is of no additional cost.

Wrong.

" across Availability Zones in the same AWS Region is charged at $0.01/GB in each direction. Effectively, cross-AZ data transfer in AWS costs 2ยข per gigabyte and each gigabyte transferred counts as 2GB on the bill: once for sending and once for receiving."
