Earlier quoted context omitted.

Better way of doing natively addressable pods is assign whole subnets (like /25) as secondary interface and distribute that to pods via cni. I think gke pod network works that way. Not sure why eks decided 17 pods is ok lol

Wow the ignorance. The AWS CNI which comes with EKS attaches ENIs (think of a NIC) to the instance. The number of these you can attach is dependent on the instance type. Pods get an IP in the CIDR range of the subnet the instance is in. There's no additional network overlay which does any NAT when traffic leaves the instance. If you want you can use your own CNI, but things can break.

Parent poster sounds more credible. Maybe tone down a bit this is a forum for discussion not a lan party.

I'm glad they plugged their outbound network transfer fees compared to the others[1]. I was shocked and horrified when my AWS bill (which I pay myself) quadrupled due to outgoing network transfer fees. It's truly outrageous what they charge. I use Digital Ocean a lot now simply to avoid nasty surprises like that. I hope AWS and Google change that.

They must be great, my servers are constantly receiving hack attempts from Digital Ocean IPs.

Texts too with phishing urls in them trace the IPs you find they are digital ocean VMs. The worst part is here in Canada we have to pay for incoming texts.

What plan/provider requires you to pay for incoming texts?

We use Direct Connect to get traffic to edge nodes where we buy fixed 10Gbps links and pay a fraction of the AWS cost. AWS bandwidth costs are ridiculous.

Guess who‘s favorite evil corp cloud is a magnitude cheaper than AWS on transfer pricing? Oracle, which is why Zoom just signed a deal.

Oh this is really cool!! I've been wanting them to do this for a few years, glad they finally did. It has some quirks (have to clone to add to an existing VM) but its at least a great start!

One thing I want to do is setup a VPN tunnel from my home network and lock everything else down. Wasn't possible before but it is now with this.

I did this with Tailscale and it was super slick

$0.01/GB is fantastic, but I have a bandwidth intensive ML media application and don't know how to monetize or sell it quickly enough to pay for my bandwidth costs.

Is there a cloud or dedicated server farm with even cheaper outbound bandwidth?

Edit: as much as I hate Oracle, their first 10TB is free, and each GB after that is $0.0085/GB. Better...

You might want to look for a provider who is a member of the "Bandwidth Alliance" [0].

If you’re okay with servers located in Germany, Hetzner is a provider I can vouch for and they offer additional egress at 1EUR/TB. 20TB included, too. (Billing has been rather painful, though.)
