Empowering customers with the Bandwidth Alliance

This post introduces and details the Bandwidth Alliance, a program launched in late 2018 with over fifteen cloud providers. The alliance aims to combat cloud vendor lock-in by reducing or eliminating egress fees for data transfer between Cloudflare and its partners. It explains how Cloudflare's extensive global network and peering capabilities enable these cost reductions through private network interconnects (PNI) and peered connections. The post highlights significant customer benefits in terms of cost savings and increased choice, providing specific examples and customer testimonials, and also mentions the integration with Microsoft Azure for discounted egress.
