Is an empty s3 bucket chargeable?

I came across a question which said that the user had provisioned s3 buckets but not added any objects. Would this still be chargeable?

Deepak Adlakha

I do not think so. You are charged for the object storage, length of the storage, retrieval and data charges. More information at https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

Hi Ashish,

Empty S3 buckets don’t cost anything.  You are only charged by the size of the objects in the bucket, the storage class and the access.
