# Amazon CloudFront

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/cdn/amazon-cloudfront/

AWS's CDN, sold in flat-rate monthly plans bundling CloudFront with other AWS services rather than metered bandwidth alone.

## Who it suits

Teams already on AWS that want CDN bundled with other AWS services under one flat monthly price rather than itemized per-GB billing.

Consider something else if Traffic profile is unusual or very high volume — the flat-rate plans bundle a fixed allowance, and a metered pay-as-you-go CDN may price better outside that shape.
