Google Cloud Platform reduced egress pricing for data transferred to other cloud providers, effective immediately across all regions.
The change affects inter-cloud transfers, not general internet egress. Organizations moving data between GCP and AWS or Azure see costs drop by approximately 25%.
Pricing Details
Premium tier egress to other clouds now costs $0.08 per GB for the first 10TB monthly. Standard tier pricing drops to $0.05 per GB.
Transfers between GCP regions remain unchanged. Free tier allowances continue at 1GB monthly.
Multi-Cloud Impact
Companies running hybrid deployments benefit most. Data synchronization between clouds becomes more economical.
Disaster recovery setups with secondary sites on different cloud providers see reduced ongoing costs.
Comparison
GCP now offers the lowest inter-cloud egress rates among major providers. AWS and Azure charge $0.09-0.12 per GB for similar transfers.
Organizations should review their Cloud Billing reports to estimate savings based on current transfer volumes.
