AWS does provide mechanisms to notify customers about pricing updates, but there is no explicit mention in the provided search results that AWS Global Accelerator pricing changes come with a mandatory advance notice period specifically for this service.
However, AWS offers a general way to stay informed about price changes across its services, including Global Accelerator, through Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) notifications. Customers can subscribe to these SNS topics to receive alerts whenever there is a price update. These notifications can be configured to be sent either every time a price changes or once daily with a summary of all price changes applied during the previous day. This setup allows customers to proactively monitor pricing updates and adjust accordingly[5].
Regarding formal contractual or service terms, the AWS Service Terms document indicates that certain pricing changes, such as those for EC2 Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, require a 30-day advance notice, but it does not specifically mention AWS Global Accelerator pricing changes or a fixed notice period for them[7].
In summary:
- AWS does not explicitly guarantee a specific notice period before updating AWS Global Accelerator pricing.
- Customers can receive price change notifications by subscribing to AWS SNS topics dedicated to price list updates, enabling near real-time awareness of pricing changes.
- Formal advance notice (e.g., 30 days) is documented for some AWS pricing models but not specifically for Global Accelerator.
Therefore, while AWS facilitates timely notification of pricing changes via SNS, it does not appear to provide a formal, guaranteed advance notice period specifically for AWS Global Accelerator pricing updates.
This conclusion is based on the AWS documentation and community knowledge available up to now[5][7].
