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. [1] https://blog.digitalocean.com/its-all-about-the-bandwidth-wh...

$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...

Scaleway has 0 bandwidth fees and unlimited bandwidth.

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.)

Can you elaborate why billing is a pain point ? thanks.

When you're using a private network v4 address exhaustion doesn't matter much and the simplicity of only 4 octets helps with IP memorability and simplicity. I would still prefer a v6 option though, as keeping private networks on v4 might be contributing to the slow adoption of v6.

Life sure would be easier if "cloud native" meant IPv6-only (except the load balancer) with non-overlapping unique addresses everywhere. 10/8 doesn't go far if you give each VM a /24 and each k8s cluster a /16.

Where have you experienced shortages? Even with a /16, you are talking about millions of unique IPs.

Hetzner also has some traffic flatrate servers, but after a specific threshold your bandwidth will be capped.

Haven't been an issue for me. I pay via credit card, no trouble.

I'm transferring out ~5TB/day and pay no charges for it. I'm using scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/)

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. https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/why-zoom-chose-oracle-clo...

well there's got a be a reason why they're our favorite evil corp doesn't there?

Oracle cloud? The same technology that runs certain state unemployment systems and has been completely unable to scale, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with no income for the last five weeks?

Oracle really should remove its logo from the footers of all those collapsing web sites. It's embarrassing.

Thanks I’m aware that aws hacked the shit out of their inflexible legacy design to support this (as well as hid docs on github and continue to charge you for those ENIs). What else is new?

Umm you're not charged for using ENIs. You're thinking of elastic IPs. Please check your facts before making these claims.

Hm I think you are right on the price (at least I don’t see it anymore). The fact that it’s ridiculously complex feature remains though. We ended up just running regular overlay since messing around and planning for ENIs is not worth it (I suppose not an option for eks nodes).
