Episode 73 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna unpack a growing line item in enterprise cloud bills: the portability penalty. As cloud providers tighten the screws on data transfer and API interoperability, moving workloads between platforms is getting more expensive. The hosts walk through a real-world example from mid-2026 — a mid-sized fintech that tried to split its AI inference across AWS and Azure, only to find egress fees, cross-cloud API call costs, and new contract clauses adding 18% to its monthly bill. They discuss why this is happening (hint: it's about locking in AI workloads), what the math looks like, and whether regulators in Brussels or Washington are paying attention. No alarmism — just the numbers and the strategy. #CloudComputing #Technology #CloudBills #PortabilityPenalty #DataEgress #AWS #Azure #GoogleCloud #MultiCloud #Fintech #VendorLockIn #CloudPricing #Interoperability #AIWorkloads #CloudRegulation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
