Oracle Cloud only charges a fraction of want Google, Microsoft, and Amazon charge. Any idea how Oracle is able to keep the cost so low? Or are the others just inflating the price so customers don’t move to the competitor? In that case Oracle deserves a shout out for not applying these vendor lock-in practices.
- andersa 3y agoThe large providers are overcharging between 10 and 100x on egress. Cloudflare has a blog on it somewhere.

- suyash 3y agoOther are just charging what they are because people are too ignorant to complain/object and will just pay.
- wongarsu 3y agoHetzner charges $1/TB. Oracle charges $7/TB, AWS $90/TB. Oracle has probably really good margins on egress costs. With AWS/GCP/Azure the costs are absurd because for a lot of their customers it's not a big cost during operation, but makes moving data off cost prohibitive. It's simply a vendor lock-in mechanism for them.
- dilyevsky 3y agoThe margin on egress is insane. Oracle got into cloud late in the game and burned a lot of goodwill downmarket so they have to sacrifice that to play catchup

- pier25 3y agoEgress is an artificial cost. Cloud providers don't pay for it.
- Culonavirus 3y agoWell I'm sure there are some costs, but Google charging you an arm and a leg for traffic when they literally own multiple sea cables going around the world and a bazillion datacenters seems a bit sus...
- shell_game 3y agoOracle has other lock in practices lol… they don’t need to jack up egress fees.
