> let’s remember that the internet is 1-to-many. If 1 million people download that 1GB this month, my cost with @cloudflare R2 this way rounds up to 13¢. With @awscloud S3 it’s $59,247.52.
Maybe abuse isn't the right word but definitely making the most.
I am a bit scared about being turned off overnight though.
The greatest trick AWS ever pulled was convincing the world you needed to pay for bandwidth.
Yes, but every customer would never do this, so what is your point?
You have to think more in terms of averages for things like this
This translates to roughly 1.2 gigabytes per second (every second of of the month), and 3240 terabytes of data per month - in or out, the choice is yours.
Things scale down as you buy more bandwidth, or commit to a longer contract.
Many would say that $1000 per month is literally "nothing" in terms of costs of service for most real businesses our there, and if you're a happy CSP user, you're probably paying a hell of a lot more than that per month for your infra.
I feel R2 should charge something for transfer though, otherwise people could abuse it. Hetzner charges ~1.5% of AWS egress fees which I feel is right thing to do and likely profitable.
Not saying not to trust him - he’s probably a very reasonable and standup guy - but you should know this about him before taking his word on a topic like this.
No disrespect @eastDakota
