This blog post is pretty disappointing. While true that AWS's egress can be costly, it is interesting that this article makes no mention of the fact that "non-partnership egress" on GCP is actually more expensive than AWS and that Azure is roughly on par. This article misses the opportunity to talk about cloud providers in a broad context and instead attempts to publicly shame AWS for not cutting a partner discount with them on egress for customers. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an egress discount, but this is "partner channel propaganda" masked as an AWS call-out.
