☁ ⚔ This is BIG news in the Cloud wars: Google is killing their egress fees for GCP ⚔ ☁ In concrete terms: Google says it’ll stop charging fees to transfer data out of Google Cloud. Egress fees have always been the 'dark' secret of the cloud. E.g. when the big cloud players offer free credits to upcoming startups, it has always been a bit like the trojan horse due to hefty egress fees if you one day want to change your cloud provider. Egress fees can be a subtle tactic used by cloud providers to discourage clients from migrating away from their services. As organizations accumulate increasing amounts of data over time, their reliance on the cloud provider deepens. Consequently, the cost of transitioning away from the cloud provider escalates, resulting in a situation of vendor lock-in. Further, data egress costs are very hard to calculate and forecast. As already mentioned, they’re likely the best representation of vendor lock-in. I know many who have said that they can't stand the pricing model for egress in the cloud. Data egress costs stand as a significant barrier to cloud adoption and an often overlooked financial burden. According to IDC research, both anticipated and unexpected egress fees constitute around 6% of the average cloud storage expenses for organizations. While this percentage might seem small, these charges steadily increase in tandem with the expansion of an organization's cloud usage. In late 2022, I came across the word “dark data”, referring to data that never actually gets used, which apparently makes up most data at companies today. One report found that only 32% of company data is used, while 68% goes unleveraged. Recent data also shows that close to 90% of files that are accessed in S3 are accessed just once. As noted by Matthew, do you think all of those buckets are configured to remove those files or move them to a different storage class so that they’re not still in Standard storage? Of course not. And considering how much data is actually in the Cloud, that means a lot of money is being spent for no reason. As DevOps and Data teams have had to concentrate on speed & agility to meet the extraordinarily high expectations placed on them during the growth at all cost ZIRP times, best practices in the field of data cloud cost optimization are still relatively new. The Battery Ventures Q1 2023 State of Cloud Software Spending report highlighted that 95% of CXOs consider cloud cost optimization either a medium or a high priority over the next 2 years. It further highlighted that non-cloud provider solutions for FinOps and cloud cost optimization are a priority for 65% of CXOs. In the 2010s, cloud infrastructures enabled a new generation of companies to build and scale their businesses. In this decade, cloud infrastructure is table stakes and Cloud Economics is top of mind. As my friend Alexandre said: in today's world Cloud is and should be a commodity. Interesting move by Google! #cloud #devops #finops

At Strata Analytics Group, we manage multiple Public Cloud Accounts entrusted to us by our customers. One of their main concerns when coming to us is the evolution of their Cloud Costs. We use multiple tools to track costs and manage thousands of resources that comprise these accounts. Today, we want to highlight Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s "Tags" feature, a powerful tool that helps companies track their resources and manage their AWS expenses. Since Strata is an accredited #AWS Partner that has achieved the Cloud Operations Competency, we have robust tagging strategies for our customers. These tags act as identifiers, allowing users to categorize resources, projects, departments, or any other pertinent infrastructure feature. By assigning unique or shared tags to every resource, AWS users can obtain detailed insights into their usage habits, enabling well-informed decisions. By leveraging Cost Explorer's Cost Allocation Tags feature, we can provide our customers with clear visualizations and in-depth analyses of their current status, trends, and potential risks, ensuring transparency and accuracy in their #Cloud journey costs. Cost Allocation Tags Features: ✅ Track costs of each environment tier (development, production, etc.) ✅ Segregate costs by application, project, or cost center. ✅ Quickly notice when a deployment or application has gone out of budget. ✅ Keep track of expenses of serverless resources that may scale involuntarily. By implementing this and many more tools and solutions, Strata Analytics Group' #CloudOperations Team can help you control and optimize your Cloud Expenses. Contact us for more information!
