Well if that isn't a direct answer to https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress/ ...

I use 500GB - 1TB per month on Cloudfront, costing about $50-100 per month, and I was going to move this over to Cloudflare to take advantage of their savings. However, this AWS change will basically wipe out my entire Cloudfront bill. I should send Cloudflare a Christmas card to say thanks.

It leaves you pretty close to the edge of paying 8.5+ cents/GB when you go over though.

AWS giving you 95GB egress for free is not at all a direct answer to the insane prices

Just because it isn't as good doesn't mean it's not a direct answer. This is basically the lowest hanging fruit response AWS can give against Cloudflare to convince people not to migrate over.

Maybe the idea is that if you're doing 1+ TB of CloudFront traffic, you're already deeply locked into AWS anyways and less willing to make the jump anyways.

A partial direct answer that's still less free egress than almost every other free tier and/or sub $5/VPS. And as far as I can tell, the egregious pricing is still there once you're past the free limit.

Lol, thanks on behalf of everyone enjoying the AWS free tier, jgc.

My thought as well. I was just about to spin up a new service on cloudflare and now I’ll stick with AWS.
