With the AWS Stockholm region eu-north-1 launched I wanted to take a quick peek at the pricing. There have been rumors that the Stockholm region would be priced lower than many others so let’s compare.

I compared Stockholm to N. Virginia, Frankfurt and Ireland with EC2, Aurora, S3 and DynamoDB. Below is the pricing for each per region and the difference compared to Stockholm.
