And I always thought they will drop the price of their EC2 some day to balance things out. But nope.

I am wondering if Amazon could introduce a bandwidth cost rebate, where the bandwidth cost would be subtracted from your final bill at a maximum of 30% of your total VM bill.

But it is like Apple, once you have a monopoly like market they just dont need to. Amazon is buying as many TSMC capacity as they could as demand for Graviton 2 is way above their projected expectation. It seems they are still growing at such a pace despite their size.



The rebate you mention sort of already exists, just restricted to public sector research customers. Think the cap is that egress is waived as long as it is less than 15% of the bill.
