Empty S3 bucket makes your AWS bill explode
- Unexpected High Costs: The author experienced a sudden spike in his AWS bill, amounting to over $1,300, due to nearly 100,000,000 S3 PUT requests executed within a single day on an empty S3 bucket he had set up for testing.
- Source of Requests: Initially, AWS does not log requests executed against S3 buckets by default. The author had to enable AWS CloudTrail logs to identify the source of the requests. It was found that misconfigured systems were attempting to store data in his private S3 bucket.
- Billing for Unauthorized Requests: AWS charges for unauthorized incoming requests to S3 buckets. This was confirmed during the author’s communication with AWS support, highlighting a critical billing policy where the bucket owner pays for incoming requests regardless of their authorization status.
- Prevention and Protection: The article notes that there is no straightforward way to prevent such incidents other than deleting the bucket. AWS does not allow the bucket to be protected by services like CloudFront or WAF when it is accessed directly through the S3 API.
- AWS Investigation: Following the incident, AWS began investigating the issue, as indicated by a tweet from Jeff Barr, a prominent AWS evangelist. This suggests that AWS is aware of the potential for such problems and may be considering ways to address them.
