## Resource

Episode 105 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo dives into a new cloud billing line item that's quietly appearing on enterprise invoices: the packet inspection fee. Lucas and Luna break down why AWS, Azure, and GCP are now charging for deep packet inspection on virtual network traffic, how the fees scale with throughput, and what it means for companies running intrusion detection or compliance monitoring. They cite a real-world example from a mid-sized fintech that saw a 12% bill increase after deploying a standard security appliance. The hosts also discuss whether this is a genuine infrastructure cost or a margin grab.
