>Compute is what makes your cloud bill so high. This isn’t to say that other services don’t contribute to it at all. Storage can get quite expensive and moving data around might result in high egress costs.
I don't know what to say here. Compute is probably costly for cast.ai because they use a lot of it, but for many applications storage and egress is as much if not more than compute. It's all down to the application.
Compute is also the easiest to optimize in terms of cost, and egress the hardest.
- toomanybeersies 5y agoAt my last job, memory ended up being the bigger cost factor. We were running t3.xlarge (4 CPU, 16 GB) instances with the CPU hardly above idle, but constantly running out of memory.
