Thanks for pointing this out, I've gone ahead and removed mentions of Cloudflare's pricing from my comment since I can't find an authoritative source for their egress pricing in their docs. The point general point still stands, all cloud provider egress costs suck and Cloudflare is just trying to strongarm AWS into entering a bandwidth agreement with them.

Honestly I'd love it even if AWS just joined into the bandwidth alliance. Then I could store backups in glacier but have several options to retrieve it at a reasonable price.

No it doesn't. Since the article mentions that Amazon is charging egress pricing for egress data that doesn't go though the public internet, which is much cheaper and isn't egress in the first place.

Except at Amazon/AWS ofc.
