How Cloud Bills Now Charge for Egress to Private Data Centers

Listen for free

View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the latest cloud billing twist: egress fees for data moving from a public cloud to a customer's own private data center. They break down AWS's recent 2026 pricing change, which charges $0.09 per gigabyte for traffic exiting to on-premises infrastructure, even if the customer owns the network. The conversation covers why providers are pushing this, how it affects hybrid cloud strategies, and what companies like Netflix and Dropbox did to avoid similar costs. Lucas cites a report from CloudZero showing enterprises now spend an average of 18% of their cloud bill on egress, with private data center egress being the fastest-growing component. They discuss mitigation tactics like direct peering, caching, and re-architecting data flows, and question whether this accelerates the move to multi-cloud or pushes companies toward single-provider lock-in. The episode is practical, specific, and grounded in real numbers—anyone managing a hybrid infrastructure will learn something actionable. #CloudComputing #AWS #Azure #GCP #EgressFees #HybridCloud #CloudBilling #Infrastructure #DataTransfer #Networking #CloudEconomics #CloudZero #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #FinOps #MultiCloud #OnPremises Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
