Cloud Computing with Fexingo: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Modern Infrastructure Conversations

In this episode of Cloud Computing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the environmental impact of cloud data centers, focusing on the energy consumption and carbon emissions behind services like AWS, Azure, and GCP. They discuss a 2024 study from the International Energy Agency showing that data centers consume about 1-2% of global electricity, with projections to double by 2030 due to AI worklo...

Episode 3 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo digs into the multi-cloud backlash. Lucas and Luna examine why companies like Dropbox and AdRoll are pulling workloads back from multi-cloud strategies and consolidating on single providers. We break down the hidden coordination costs, data gravity dynamics, and the surprising post-migration math that flips the cloud cost narrative. Specific numbers: the 4...

Lucas and Luna dig into one of the most underappreciated drivers of cloud cost overruns: data egress fees. Using a real example from a mid-size SaaS company that saw its monthly AWS bill jump from $12,000 to $47,000 after a single architecture change, they explain how egress pricing works across AWS, Azure, and GCP, why it's so easy to overlook, and what engineering teams can do to avoid the trap....

In the premiere episode of Cloud Computing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna drill into one specific number: the list price of a single AWS EC2 instance type, the m5.xlarge, which has sat at $0.192 per hour unchanged for years. They trace how that apparent stability masks a labyrinth of reserved instances, spot markets, and savings plans that can swing costs by 60 percent or more. Using a real-world st...
