Are you sure you are AWS partner? Cloudfront is not going to "instantly lower multiple times" - it's still $0.060/GB (for US, other countries are even more expensive), so that would be at least $6K monthly bill. Its only few tens of percents reduction.

And sure, Cloudflare does not have all the breath of Amazon services, but I find it hard to justify $60 vs $6000 price difference. Amazon egress is simply incredibly overpriced, and any price-sensitive company should avoid using it.



It is not overpriced, it's simply not fit for your purpose - that's all I'm saying. That's fine, use the best tool for the job - I use Cloudflare too, it's great. But there are times when the capabilities offered by AWS networking are necessary and the price is well justified for what it offers.
