Beware of cloud providers that don't "charge for egress" but do charge on a metric that is effectively a proxy for egress.
For example, a cloud streaming service that charges for video delivery by per minute streamed is just charging for egress with extra steps.
- buggeryorkshire 3y agoEh? If you're delivering video at scale there's no way anybody is going to do that for free? Whereas with AWS they charge you for traffic between AWS regions last time I checked?
- Dylan16807 3y agoThey're not asking for free service, they're just noting that a claim of "free egress" might be a lie.
- omnimus 3y agoAny CDN that doesnt charge for egress (like cloudflare) will deliver your videos without charges.
- dilyevsky 3y agoDelivering video will instantly promote you to their business plan where you are charged
- omnimus 3y agoAfaik its allowed with R2.
- andrewstuart 3y agoThe CTO of Cloudflare denied that.
- baq 3y agoYou see egress with extra steps, I see billing for work relevant to my business and my customers
