Optimizing data transfer by compressing files before transferring them to the cloud can help reduce egress costs. Additionally, utilizing data deduplication techniques can minimize the amount of redundant data being transferred, further decreasing costs. Implementing a content delivery network (CDN) can also help in reducing egress costs by caching content closer to end-users, reducing the need for data to be transferred from the cloud server every time it is accessed.

Another way to reduce cloud egress costs is by strategically choosing the location of your cloud servers. Selecting a region that is closer to your primary user base can minimize the distance data needs to travel, thereby reducing egress costs. Furthermore, monitoring and optimizing data transfer patterns can help identify opportunities to consolidate or batch transfers, ultimately leading to cost savings. Finally, consider using cloud providers that offer discounted or free egress options for certain types of data transfers or during off-peak hours to further reduce costs.
