Demo UI

If you choose to deploy the demo UI, the solution automatically deploys an additional CloudFront distribution and S3 bucket for storing the static website assets in your account. You are responsible for the incurred variable charges from these services. For more information, see Amazon S3 pricing.

Image modification and analysis

This cost estimate doesn’t account for Amazon S3 PUT and GET requests, which can vary because modified images are cached in CloudFront, and because certain use cases require special-use capabilities such as smart cropping and content moderation with Amazon Rekognition. Using Amazon Rekognition features may incur additional charges. For more information, see Amazon Rekognition pricing.

There is no additional cost for using sharp, which is an open source library.
