![]() This would cost a fortune to set up on other clouds. If that wasn’t enough, data on R2 is distributed all over the world for no extra charge ( “Region: Earth”, as the Cloudflare UI likes to point out). ![]() This is why Cloudflare R2 is such a breath of fresh air: you get cloud storage for cheaper than S3 (R2 costs $15/TB/mo, S3 costs $23/TB/mo), and much more importantly, with no egress fees: $0 instead of $90/TB! Even then, if you have a VPC with a private subnet, be careful to avoid the extra $45/TB egress fees ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. The only way to avoid egress is to move the data within the same zone of the same cloud provider. In fact, AWS charges an 8000% markup on moving data off their cloud, which is certainly an effective way to ensure that users analyze data on the same platform where they store it.Īs a result, you have to be careful when you share data with collaborators, copy data to other services within the same cloud, or - heaven forbid - analyze data on a different cloud. On AWS, downloading a file from S3 to your computer once costs 4 times more than storing it for an entire month on Google Cloud, it’s 6 times more expensive.īut surprise turns into dismay once you learn that bandwidth doesn’t actually cost cloud providers very much. What I’ve always found surprising about egress is just how expensive it is.
