Egress means files being requested, right? Is there a charge for sending files to the server (ingress)? Does this mean the only charge is the storage space?
This was one of the most surprising things, to me, before I learned about any of this stuff.
inbound traffic (ingress) is free, almost universally.
outbound traffic (egress) is $insane, almost universally.
It's where most of the cloud providers make most of their money, as far as I can tell.
I'm a fan of murdering egress fees, so therefore I am a fan of whatever Cloudflare R2 turns out to be. As long as they get rid of egress, I'll cheerlead them for life.
(To answer your question more directly: "yes, I think so. At least in my experience.")
