Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ingress free but egress expensive?
Cloud providers make data easy to bring in to encourage adoption, then charge for data going out because outbound traffic consumes their network peering and transit capacity.
What does Cloudflare R2 zero egress actually mean?
R2 charges for storage and API operations but bills $0 for data transferred out to the internet. For high-egress workloads the savings over traditional providers are substantial.
Are these rates accurate for my account?
The rates are illustrative round numbers. Your actual rate may be lower due to committed-use contracts or volume discounts. Verify against your current invoice before making architecture decisions.
Does inter-region transfer count as egress?
It depends on the provider. On AWS, inter-region transfer is billed at its own rate, not as internet egress. Check your provider's data transfer pricing page for the exact rate matrix.
