how much cheaper is Rackspace vs Amazon CloudFront? From our experience, Amazon also has more nodes that its CDN pushes files to and our CDN cost with 100k+ views a month is still under $3/month, for each solution.
- ericcholis 14y agoI'm not sure on pricing at the moment, but Rackspace CloudFiles use Akami for it's CDN nodes. I'm also not sure how this directly compares to CloudFront, but I thought it was worth noting.
- gtaylor 14y agoYou can always still use CloudFront from Rackspace. It isn't bound to Amazon EC2 VMs in any way. You get much better transfer speeds when you're interacting from within EC2, but even outside it's not too bad.
