Hello,
I am getting charged for data transfer on was. It is a new account (1-month-old) and only has one instance (running discourse). This is what they say,

When you transfer data from AWS resources to the internet, you’re charged per service, with rates specific to the originating Region.

That’s exactly how AWS works. They charge you for the VM and for the outbound traffic.

Will using a cdn help reduce costs?

Yes. The CDN will load the data from s3 only once (or maybe once or zone depending on how it works).
