Cloud exit toll booth bypass built by EU regulators
Chhabra argues there's more marketing in the move than substance, given that egress fees matter only to a small portion of the customer base. In scenarios where a customer might want one cloud provider to serve as a failover for another, egress fees would still apply, he said.
Quinn suggested a scenario in which an AWS customer wants to use a data lake in Azure."That’s going to get expensive on the Azure side, to the point where you either do the compute in Azure, or move / copy the data to AWS." The relaxation of egress fees won't matter, he said, because you'd have to close your Azure account or at least stop using it as you had been to qualify for free egress. Regulators, he suggested, are aiming at the wrong target by focusing on egress fees. ®A different view from the edgeTrying out Microsoft's pre-release OS/2 2.0
