Egress/Ingress – Data transfer out of/into cloud networks.
These terms refer to data transfer in cloud environments. Egress is data transfer out of a cloud provider’s network, while ingress is data transfer into the network. Most cloud providers offer free ingress but charge for egress, with rates varying by region and destination. Understanding egress costs is crucial for applications with high data transfer requirements. Providers often offer reduced rates for data transfer between services within the same region or zone. Some services, like content delivery networks (CDNs), can help optimize egress costs for frequently accessed content.
