In my experience egress is not the biggest cost though, it's compute and storage. Are my workloads the outliers?

- brianwawok 10y agoFor most people not running a CDN or Netflix I would also expect to see CPU or Ram the bottleneck.
- _jal 10y agoReally depends on the business model. I modeled different deployment scenarios for a product for a small company, and egress pricing broke the economics for the ones involving cloud providers. (It was principally concerned with hires images.) That was some time back and I know pricing has come down, so that may be different now.
- brianwawok 10y ago> It was principally concerned with hires images That sounds kinda like the CDN example in my case :) I guess you could amend it to say "any kind of large media files" But even if your business does do a lot with huge media files... no reason you can't do 95% of your business on AWS or GCE, and then just offload the giant file download piece to some unlimited bandwidth server you rent.
