Why Cloud Bills Now Charge for Egress to Rival Clouds
from Cloud Computing with Fexingo: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Modern Infrastructure Conversations Hosted by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna dig into the cost of moving data between clouds—specifically, the egress fees that kick in when you need to get data out of AWS, Azure, or GCP and into a different provider's network. They open with a real-world scenario: a fintech startup that saw its monthly bill spike by 18 percent just by syncing backups to a second cloud for disaster recovery. The hosts break down why egress pricing is structured the way it is, how the major providers set their rates (and why they rarely match on price), and what the regulatory pressure in Europe means for future pricing. Along the way, they mention a few concrete numbers—like how egress can cost $0.09 per gigabyte on the high end—and they discuss practical tactics like using CDNs and negotiated data transfer discounts. By the end, you'll have a clear mental model of egress fees and a checklist for keeping them from blowing up your budget. #CloudEgress #DataTransferCosts #AWS #Azure #GCP #CloudBilling #FinOps #CloudCostOptimization #MultiCloud #DisasterRecovery #DigitalTransformation #InfrastructureAsCode #Technology #Business #CloudComputing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
