If you can sign a yearly bandwidth commit (not sure what the minimum bandwidth requirement is, but 1PB / year may be in the ballpark) - you will get prices that are extremely competitive (maybe like 90%+ off base list pricing?)


You can get it down to ~1c/g at best then if you want cheaper you gotta build your own


In my experience pricing can go far lower than that. The sibling commenter saying $0.001/GB on an 18PB /year commit seems reasonable to me.


You said 90% off which i’ve seen personally and amount to roughly 1c (most of the list starts at like 8-10c in the US). The sibling says they somehow got 90% off that original 90% which seems silly and def not something i would count on


Did you see the sibling comment posted 45 minutes before you saying they pay 0.1c/g at aws when committing to spending 1500$/month?


Did you see my comment in a sibling thread? If this was common then you could earn $$$ via egress arbitrage…


What would your hypothetical egress arbitrage look like? Keep in mind we are specifically talking about cloudfront bandwidth - so being able to route to an upstream without that upstream also paying for bandwidth likely is not possible.


1. Run a proxy in your VPC and redirect all CF requests to someone elses VPC 2. ???? 3. Profit! (assuming you charged them >2.1c/g)
