Hey everyone! I'm tasked with reducing our Azure egress costs, and as someone who's new to DevOps (I come from a software engineering background), I'm looking for effective strategies. What changes or optimizations have made the biggest impact for you in managing egress costs?

Using CDN caching can make a huge difference. We managed to slash our egress costs by about 90% just by enabling Cloudflare and optimizing our cache headers. It took us only a couple of days to set up! Just keep in mind that while Cloudflare doesn't charge for basic egress, their enterprise plans do come into play if you go over certain limits. So watch your usage!
Yeah, Cloudflare's free options are nice, but you might want to check their pricing for enterprise plans. It can get pricey depending on your data volumes.
