if you pay for outgoing bandwidth on AWS, your bill will go down. that's a price reduction.

- sigstoat 5y agofucking awesome deal for the folks buying turkey wraps.
- notatoad 5y agoyes, i understand that. but "not the type of price reduction i wanted" doesn't mean "not a price reduction". $5 off a turkey wrap is still a price reduction. whether or not your were shopping for a lamborghini isn't really relevant.

Busy sites won’t see any meaningful reduction in their bills, and smaller sites we’ll need to be mindful of this as they grow. Another way of looking at this is that they’re giving up the first $8.50/$85 of egress charges but only that first part — if you’re paying substantially more, that’s how much your bill is going down. What it does do, however, is favor their CDN over the competition. If you use Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, etc. you used to pay roughly the same egress rate as a CloudFront customer, but now you hit the free tier limit 10 times faster.
