Do a lot of people "run" on S3? I'm guess that sort of thin lock-in is perhaps a tiny portion of S3 and AWSs utility billing revenue? Even so, dropping egress

Even so, dropping egress fees if they see substantial migration could completely change the calculus on the switching costs for users.
- pas 5y agoEvery data processing workload is basically S3 based. Hadoop in the cloud is nothing more than X on HDFS on S3. But egress fees apply for everything, not just S3. Currently cross-cloud or multi-cloud orchestration and/or scheduling makes no sense, because egress fees just make it uneconomical (in most cases). The lower the fee gets the better the numbers will look like for mixing and marching services from providers.
