I just did some price comparison. It looks like cloudfront is actually the same price as data transfer out of S3, but in addition you have to tack on a $.02/GB fee to get the data to your cloudfront edge nodes.
If I am wrong about this (and I hope I am), where can I find more information about that?
Thanks!
- MichaelApproved 12y agoNo, you're right. I use cloud front and you have to pay for the day at to go from S3 to cloud front servers where it gets cached. Then the costs are $0.14/gb in the cheapest region. If your cache gets deleted or expired, you'll have to pay to move the data (at s3 rates) to the CDN again when someone requests it.
- res0nat0r 12y agoCloudfront actually becomes cheaper than S3 once you start scaling up to large amounts of data, plus you get the added speed benefit.
