Google Cloud Runs on Its Own Network and How That Changes the Math

Lucas and Luna break down one of the most underappreciated advantages in cloud infrastructure: Google Cloud's private fiber network. Most traffic between AWS or Azure regions travels over the public internet—and you pay for it. Google built its own global network years ago, and it fundamentally changes the cost and performance calculus for data-intensive workloads. The hosts walk through a specific enterprise migration where moving analytics pipelines from AWS to GCP cut data-transfer costs by 40 percent, and explain why the network, not compute, is becoming the real basis of competition among the top three cloud providers. They also touch on how this network advantage feeds directly into Google's AI ambitions—because training large models requires moving terabytes between regions, and the cheaper that pipe is, the more viable distributed training becomes. #GoogleCloud #CloudNetworking #AWS #Azure #EnterpriseInfrastructure #DataTransfer #EgressFees #PrivateFiber #CloudCosts #Multicloud #Bandwidth #AITraining #DistributedComputing #NetworkEconomics #GCP #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
