And if you need 100TB of bandwidth it's a 1% discount.
My guess is that the majority of their revenue is coming from a few big customers, for whom this is not a relevant discount at all. I thinkt that they are introducing this offer to get developers to adopt AWS for small projects, hoping that they'll then use the same service they are already familiar with for big projects.
- VWWHFSfQ 5y ago> the majority of their revenue is coming from a few big customers A very significant percentage of their revenue comes from Netlix, Heroku, and several others that run their entire infrastructure on AWS.

IOW, they migrated all of their non-CDN functions to AWS, but content delivery is still handled by OpenConnect appliances installed at key peering points within ISP networks.

- slownews45 5y agoOver 150TB I think you are easily down to 50% off their base rate already aren't you? $50/TB or so?
- gunapologist99 5y agoAny discount only applies to the traffic that exceeds that number. In other words, if 151 TB total is consumed: * first 150 TB at full price * next 1 TB discounted
