What makes Flickr more suited for dedicated hosting rather than awe?

  Bandwidth is expensive on aws. Image and video hosting is usually significantly cheaper on bare metal where you just get unmetered bandwidth from housing providers

    You don't know what bulk discounts large customers negotiate. High egress prices are a way to get a few extra bucks off small-potato hypermilers

      You're right, I don't know their discounts. It's still more expensive unless they get paid for using the bandwidth though
