How mismanaged data storage and excessive regionalization inflates egress costs

Data & analytics expert Matthew Richardson discusses the pitfalls of “throwing your data anywhere” and the importance of aligning your storage strategy with your data processing needs.

He uses real-life examples to illustrate how seemingly simple decisions, like storing data in random regions, can lead to significant costs when performing data migrations or ETL processes.

Whether you’re using S3 buckets, BigQuery, or other cloud services, this video will help you anticipate and avoid costly data transfer mistakes in your cloud infrastructure.

  1. Very useful guide.
    The link to calculate the optimal amount of slots doesn’t work (“BQ SE max configuration.sql”), can you fix it please?

  2. ec2 instance connect appears to be locked down to SSH and RDP protocols (ports 22 and 3389 only), meaning you can’t use it for databases in the way this post suggests. You still need to ssh to some instance then connect to the DB from there – the advantage is you don’t need to expose that ec2 instance publicly.

    If you go through the above guide, you’ll just get the following error:

    awscli.customizations.ec2instanceconnect.websocket – ERROR – {“ErrorCode”:”InvalidParameter”,”Message”:”The specified RemotePort is not valid. Specify either 22 or 3389 as the RemotePort and retry your request.”}

    did you actually try the above out successfully?
