Is this correct?
In the post you linked here, Doug only claims that internal datacenter traffic is common, not expensive.
I may be misunderstanding something here since you also used the phrase "east-west bandwidth out of the datacenter", which sounds like an oxymoron to me. Sorry if that's the case 😅
Interesting to see real-world examples of how cloud compute cost-scaling is shifting the on-prem vs cloud debate + how google's vertical integration is actually providing cost-competitive advantages. It's becoming hard to imagine how commodity chip-makers like Intel are going to compete on the margin with each cloud hyperscaler offering their own custom domain-specific chip as a service or vertically integrating into their own offering.

Are you sure it's transcoding that's too expensive? It could be the network.
