A thing to keep in mind is AWS's major outobound traffic costs, at $90/TB. So taxiing the data oversea might not be affordable either

Even for inter-AWS region transfers?

It depends on how the data is being transferred. In general, the answer is yes because you'd be using public IPs.

If you're transferring between EC2 instances in peered VPCs meaning you can still use private IPs, it's more like $20/TB.
