Egress ist die Rechnung, die Sie vergessen zu budgetieren
Speicher sieht billig aus, bis Sie Daten auslagern. Cachen Sie am Rand und halten Sie den Datenverkehr in der Region, um ihn zu bändigen. Kombiniere es mit dem CDN-Kostenrechner um den Offload zu sehen.
Egress: die Ausstiegsgebühr der Cloud
Moving data into clouds is free; moving it out costs $0.05–$0.09/GB. That asymmetry is strategic — egress fees are the moat that makes multi-cloud and migration expensive. A 100TB monthly pipeline to an external analytics stack runs $5,000–$9,000 in egress alone, often exceeding the compute that produced the data. The pressure valves: same-region private links to partner services (cheaper or free), egress-free storage vendors (R2, B2) for content serving, and EU data-portability rules that forced free full-migration egress on the majors — a one-time exit, not an operating mode. Design data flows so bulk bytes stay inside one provider's walls.
