EDP can be great if you can meet their required year over year growth requirement and if your spend is high enough to make the discounts (which are variable and negotiated often at a product offering level, not blanket) offset the required top-shelf support contract. For smaller orgs even at the $1-2M/mo level, it can often be a risk not worth taking vs other cost savings mechanisms and locating high-egress use cases elsewhere. Egress bandwidth pricing has been the sacred cow money firehose forever, despite transit costs continuing to shrink.
