I tried to use both GCP and AWS and got killed with egress charges from GCP. I suppose I got to pick one and stick with it, so I picked AWS.

Both clouds charge significantly for egress. Were you sending a lot of network traffic to SaaS vendors that were hosted in AWS but not GCP? That would make your choice pretty natural, assuming you wanted to stick with those vendors.

Yes, the majority of my clients is on AWS so I have to stick with it.
