They don't mention it in the article, but TLS comes at an additional cost. Same price per hour and per LCU, but an LCU gets you less with TLS. Standard LCU:
- 800 new non-TLS connections or flows per second.
- 100,000 active non-TLS connections or flows (sampled per minute).
- 1 GB per hour for EC2 instances, containers and IP addresses as targets.
TLS LCU:
- 50 new TLS connections or flows per second.
- 3,000 active TLS connections or flows (sampled per minute).
- 1 GB per hour for EC2 instances, containers and IP addresses as targets.
