I do have a AWS EC2 instance that contains a very large blog. My data transfer is about 200Gb/month. 80% of it are only media and images.
My data transfer costs are high due the server location in south america (where our customers are).
I was wondering if I could reduce those costs moving the heavy media data from a EC2 volume to a S3 or even caching it into a cloud front.
Is that possible?

Option 1
Try Amazon Lightsail: https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail. With the $5 plan you get 1T free monthly transfer.
Option 2
Use Cloudflare as your CDN. With Cloudflare free plan you get free unlimited data transfer. Cloudflare will cache your media files on their own server.
