For upload it doesn't make much sense. For download it's less than half the cost compared to AWS outbound bandwidth to the internet.


Holy hell. I'm looking at the pricing example on this page [0], and at $460 to transfer out 15 TB, you're telling me this is less than half the price of normal internet outbound traffic?

I knew AWS bandwidth costs were absurd, but it wasn't until seeing those numbers that it really hit me just how absurd they are.

Yeah, come for the cheap compute, stay for the expensive network costs... forever.
