Slash Your Cloud Bill by Taming Data Egress Costs
Data egress is the tax for moving data out of a cloud provider's network, a common cost in MLOps when moving models or datasets. To save money, keep compute and data in the same region. The footgun is forgetting that traffic between regions also counts.
Data egress is the often-overlooked tax for moving data out of your cloud provider's network. In MLOps, this bites you when transferring large datasets for training, moving models to edge devices, or replicating data across regions. To optimize, keep data and compute co-located. The biggest footgun is assuming egress only applies to leaving the cloud entirely; traffic between different regions or even availability zones can incur significant costs.
