What this pane shows

A ranked breakdown of data-transfer charges across the account: NAT Gateway egress, cross-region replication, cross-AZ traffic, CloudFront, ALB / API Gateway egress. Includes a flow diagram showing source-region → destination so the relationship is obvious; the table below ranks individual lines by monthly cost.

Key use cases

Find the single biggest data-transfer cost driver — usually one NAT or one cross-region replica.
Justify the work to move a container-image pull to ECR-via-VPC-endpoint.
Spot a backup or replication path that's running across a more expensive boundary than it needs to.
Plan a regional layout change with concrete "this costs $X today" numbers.

How to embed

lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime (and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script; the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.

<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/data-transfer/data-transfer.css">

<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>

<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-data-transfer-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>

<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/data-transfer/data-transfer.js" defer></script>
