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.
