#2I think the overview is missing a column of what data is actually allowed for 'free' egress.
Iirc eg Cloudflare does not allow videos etc. as part of their free tier.
edit: confused ingress and egress
Re: Cloud Egress Costs
#3For the google cloud one, is that the premium networking option or the standard networking?
Those are very different, the standard network is more akin to AWSs egress as GCPs Premium option (the default) uses local PoPs and dark fibre over Googles backbone to origin.

#4Nice chart
Some vendors let you pool your egress that comes with the compute you buy. Others do not. That can impact costs quite a bit.

#5I'm confused by that website using $/mo as the unit to describe the cost of 1TB egress. How does the time component play into this? I would have expected the cost to be described in $/TB.

#6This website is missing Wasabi [0], which has free egress. (Not necessarily endorsing, just noticed.)

#7The cost of egress traffic is a very good reason for many organizations to not fully migrate to a cloud provider anytime soon. And since, unlike with storage costs, there doesn't seem to be an actual reason (other than: it makes migrating to competitors cost-prohibitive in a subset of cases), that seems kind of... weird?
Small example: an actual company I do some work for is in the business of delivering creative assets to distributors. This results in an egress of around 180TB per month, which is, on average just, around 500Mb/s.
So, this company currently operates 2 racks in commercial data centers, linked via 10Gb/s Ethernet-over-DWDM, with 2x512Mb/s and 1x1Gb/s Internet uplinks per DC. Each rack has 2 generic-OEM servers with ~64 AMD Zen cores, 1/2TB RAM, ~8TB NVMe and ~100TB SAS RAID6 storage per node.
Just the cost-savings over egress on AWS is enough to justify that setup, including the cost of an engineer to keep it all up and running (even though the effort required for that turns out to be minimal).
So, are cloud providers ignoring a significant market here, or is the markup on their current customers lucrative enough?
Re: Cloud Egress Costs
#8some cloud providers offer a certain amount of free egress each month, while others charge a flat fee for egress over a certain amount I parse this sentance as saying the same thing twice.

#9OVHCloud is free
https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/faq/
As a data company we really benefit from Scaleway, Hetzner and Ovh.
However, Scale way has no plans to add an US infra
And I don't know if Hetzner has US présence?
