Latitude.sh storage products do not charge egress fees. Traffic to and from your storage is free, in either direction, regardless of the storage product. The network path differs by product, because Object storage and Block / File storage are reached differently:
  • Object storage is reached over the public internet through its S3 endpoint.
  • Block and File storage attach over the storage network.

​
Object storage

Object storage is reached over the public internet through its S3 endpoint. Traffic between your Latitude.sh server and the bucket leaves the server through its public network interface, just like any other internet request.
  • Traffic out of a bucket is free, no matter where it goes. Reads to your Latitude.sh server, to an application on your laptop, or to another cloud are not billed by Latitude.sh.
  • Traffic into a bucket is free, whether it comes from the internet or from your Latitude.sh server.
If you connect from outside Latitude.sh (for example, from a laptop or another provider), Latitude.sh does not charge for the traffic on its side. Your local ISP or cloud provider may have its own egress fees.

​
Block storage

Block volumes attach to bare metal servers over Latitude.sh’s storage network using a block protocol. They never touch the public internet.
  • All traffic between your server and the volume is free, in either direction.

​
File storage

File systems attach to bare metal servers over Latitude.sh’s storage network using a file protocol. They never touch the public internet.
  • All traffic between your server and the file system is free, in either direction.
