As AWS doesn't price services based on carbon footprint, you can't infer the carbon footprint from the cost.

I agree however that certain AWS services are disproportional expensive.



Presumably the price provides some sort of bounds.

(Unless they are doing something like putting profits towards some sort of carbon maximization scheme)


Well and a fair amount of cybersec oriented services are a pattern of "sniff and copy every bit of data and do something with it" or "trawl all state". Which is inherently heavy.
