If you're comparing to Akamai, then shouldn't your data be in a CDN rather than S3?

- true_religion 11y agoNot necessarily. I'm comparing bandwidth costs. Amazon S3 out-going bandwidth is an order of magnitude more expensive than some of its competitors (OVH for example), and, at least, 2x the price of Dreamhost's OpenStack solution (which includes a CDN for outgoing bandwidth). Amazon S3 is essentially more expensive than a CDN for outgoing bandwidth even though it has only one PoP by default. That's surprising since the typical case was that the CDN would be more expensive, and increasing the # of PoP you used in CDN would make it more expensive (e.g. there's a huge jump in pricing if you use Asia/Australia nodes).
