They can get paid for not figuring it out tho
Chris Roberts, Sandi Roberts, Erin Roberts and co particularly handsomely so.
Google Gemini's getting very skittish with not wanting to calculate it because of too many unknown factors.
Apparently traffic within an AWS region starts at $0.01/GB. It'd be $12288/day. Or roughly 4½ M$/year.
With 22 regions over NA's Canada, USA, Mexico, 10 regions for EU, 8 regions for Taiwan, Japan, South Korea.
They must be getting heavy discounts, or the given data traffic figure is off, or it was just a one-off incident.
Then again, Golgot's 27-APR-2023 post links to Spectrum's "This net code is insane" (archived)...
...so the traffic figure might be real.
Yeah it seems whether it's internal or external transfer would be pretty key for a start. Although payoffs there too.
Here's someone's napkin thoughts from elsewhere:
Here's someone's napkin thoughts from elsewhere:
That's for data transfer out of the AWS network. They could be pushing petabytes internal to the AWS network between servers/services, and not externally.
But processing petabytes of data is going to drive compute costs to the moon.
But there's also cost for cross region transfers
On the order of $0.02 per GB.
Transfers within the same region are $0.01 per GB. I assume that's between servers.
So if it's all internal to one region it's $12,000.00 a day.
If it's all transferring between regions it's approximately $24,000.00 per day on data transfer costs alone.
They could always have negotiated some kind of enterprise pricing deal though based on their volume.

I love how its all fine anyway because there is so much stuff coming in this year's patches anyway.
Its like none of them remember anything about CIG at all.
Do they get a free lobotomy with every ship they buy?

So, if I read that right, every member of the Griefernet org got a week-long ban, no matter whether they participated in scuttling The Streamer Experience (with CIG-wigs on board) or not? Totally not arbitrary judgement. Ah well, they had it coming, I guess and a week is not a 10-year bangriefernet is getting their cheeks clapped right now for excessive griefing.

But no worries, according to Zyloh, once their systems to deal with this sort of thing come online and mature all will be good!
Yeah... right.
