AWS announces flat-rate pricing plans for website delivery and security
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is launching flat-rate pricing plans with no overages for website delivery and security. The flat-rate plans, available with Amazon CloudFront, combine global content delivery with AWS WAF, DDoS protection, Amazon Route 53 DNS, Amazon CloudWatch Logs ingestion, and serverless edge compute into a simple monthly price with no overage charges. Each plan also includes monthly Amazon S3 storage credits to help offset your storage costs.
CloudFront flat-rate plans allow you to deliver your websites and applications without calculating costs across multiple AWS services. You won’t face the risk of overage charges, even if your website or application goes viral or faces a DDoS attack. Security features like WAF and DDoS protection are enabled by default, and additional configurations are simple to set up. When you serve your AWS applications through CloudFront instead of directly to the internet, your flat-rate plan covers the data transfer costs between your applications and your viewers for a simple monthly price without the worry of overages. This simplified pricing model is available alongside pay-as-you-go pricing for each CloudFront distribution, giving you the flexibility to choose the right pricing model and feature set for each application.
Plans are available in Free ($0/month), Pro ($15/month), Business ($200/month), and Premium ($1,000/month) tiers for new and existing CloudFront distributions. Select the plan tier with the features and usage allowances matching your application’s needs. To learn more, refer to the Launch Blog, Plans and Pricing, or CloudFront Developer Guide.
