Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like they are going to charge for ephemeral IP addresses as well, not just static ones. This means any VM which accesses an external service via IPV4, i.e. making a request to a transactional mail service, will now have to pay for this privilege even if ingress is via a load balancer.
- ggm 7y agoI understood it to be a fee for static IP binding, used or reserved. Sad to be corrected (I mean, happy to be corrected but the news won't be happy)
- clhodapp 7y agoYou are incorrect. They are going to begin charging a small fee for public IPs (i.e. IPs that can talk to the internet), not static IPs. They do support NAT as an alternative, but they charge for it (and are slightly lowering that cost as a part of this change). To be clear, none of this is going to have any measurable impact on me, I'm just pointing out the fact that they didn't really hold true to the promise of the free tier. Source: the email that they sent out to customers about this
- ggm 7y agoWell that's bad. Thanks for clarifying and you were right from the start.
