Transparency
Implementing a chargeback model enables clear cost allocation
Accountability
Hold each business unit accountable within your organization
Cost-Effective Traffic Path Optimization
Cloud teams can determine and implement the most cost-effective traffic paths for cloud-native environments, considering factors such as latency, throughput, and network costs.
Savings and Performance Balance
Optimizing traffic paths ensures a balance between cost savings and performance, maximizing the value of cloud investments while maintaining optimal user experience.
Challenges
Data egress charges, often described as bandwidth or data transfer, are difficult to identify and comprehend on monthly cloud bills. Depending on the use case, these costs can be substantial, potentially exceeding the plain storage costs, leading to budget disruptions and reduced cloud investment ROI.
Managing cloud infrastructure usage is intricate and shared among multiple applications. The complexity lies in accurately assigning costs to individual applications or business units based on their specific usage patterns. Additionally, obtaining detailed visibility into usage patterns, resource consumption, and associated costs is vital for constructing an effective chargeback model. Cloud providers frequently present intricate pricing models with varying rates for distinct services, making it challenging to aggregate and present the data that is actionable for cloud application owners
Cloud transfer costs vary based on scope (within the same zone, different zone in region, different region, or outside cloud). Farther destinations incur higher costs per GB per month. Transferring data between diverse regions, especially with varying digital maturity, significantly impacts egress costs—e.g., Europe to Asia or North America to South America are notably expensive
“Whenever you deploy a system in the cloud that (a) exchanges or replicates data between cloud availability zones, regions or across VPCs; (b) routes data from inside the cloud to an outside location; or (c) writes to a database or storage server outside your cloud, you may potentially incur data egress charges."
