AWS is 0.01 or 0.02 between regions.
Azure can be 0.16 between regions!
AWS egress is 0.05 at scale. That is competitive with Azure egress.
We keep on hearing things like AWS is 80x price, but no one will actually show the math where I can actually get 0.01 range egress.
So, yes, there is a discount to be had, but there are discounts with AWS as well.

And azure's Pricing is here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/bandwidth/...
Its not 12c per gig, its 8.75c per gig for Microsoft Routing... (at least from Europe and NA) and 8c for Internet Routing... Not a massive saving... Mind you, if you are based in South America, you go from 18.1c per gig down to 12...
For Us, mostly based in Europe, it would be a difference of around 995 per month on Azure Bandwidth costs, if all our bandwidth just came from Azure. Same for South America is 6 grand in savings...
