If AWS cut most of the egress fees, not only by asking to their support, that would be the greatest thing ever happening in the cloud computing space.

A lot of multi-cloud architectures are unlikely to be designed because the egress fees are killing them. Imagine if we could host some of the infra in AWS, using S3, but keeping some machines on Hetzner, while calling other APIs hosted in azure… one day it will happen :’)

Can you reference where it says that regular, day-to-day egress between clouds is going to be covered by this recent change? All the articles I've found so far imply that this free egress will be granted on a case-by-case basis, for egress that is not considered operational data, but rather explicitly for migrating out of AWS for the purpose of terminating your relationship with AWS.

You dont need to wait for that one day. Right now I’m using cloud servers from hetzner and store data in Backblaze S3 and train models on Lambda or even vast.ai.

You can, but one has to be careful with the transfers. If not you could incur ridiculous costs.

And some architectures are still prohibited - any replicated database across cloud vendors - imagine Cassandra hosted across AWS and Azure to protect against one cloud vendor outage.
