> 100 TB of raw data Surely the raw data is input, so ingress costs, which is free? The problem is if you have large amounts of intermediate data, and you want to transfer that somewhere else to continue analysis. Then it's "expensive". So the logical conclusion is to do all the work on the cloud, so you never have egress costs. That causes anxiety, sure. That said, 100TB costs $1000 to egress, assuming that your $50M/yr covers a Verizon 10GB/s line. These opinions are my own and not those of my employer or former employer.
