I'm curious what people are spending / over spending all their money on in the cloud?

My exposure to the actual granular costs and billing have only been limited to a small company and in that case the costs were pretty appealing compared to running everything yourself. Granted this was also a bit of a hybrid with some services local and others in the cloud.

I've not had much exposure to where the deep costs start to pile up as far as cloud services goes. I wonder where those pop up?

Outbound data.

Cloud companies generally make inbound data close to free, but outbound data incredibly expensive.
