This is just an extension of what the egress fees, which are also anti-competitive.
Want to start a company called Snowflake, or Crunchy, or any of a number or similar providers? You’d better host in AWS (and Google Cloud, and Azure), because the respective cloud users wouldn’t want to pay for egress to use your service hosted elsewhere. Similarly, even Google can’t usefully undercut AWS’s pricing to get these providers to move out of AWS, because AWS would still charge the users.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoIf your customers are running their services in the cloud, it seems natural to run instances of your service in many clouds.
- rushb 4y agoEven without the egress fees, I'd prefer running software from 3rd party providers on the same cloud my that product also uses, since a) latency and b) integration with other services (VPC, for example).
