Egress

Egress

Definition

Egress refers to data leaving a cloud environment — from a cloud region to the internet, from one cloud provider to another, or between availability zones. Cloud providers charge for egress traffic, making it a critical cost driver for data-intensive architectures.

Minimizing egress through CDN caching, data locality design, and regional processing is a key cloud cost optimization technique.
