That may be true, but try building a CDN on top of AWS and you'll be out of cash pretty quickly with their bandwidth prices.

- emidln 12y agoIt seems like a bad strategic decision to try to build a CDN on top of a platform that already offers a CDN while expecting to be cheaper than their economy-of-scale-driven CDN. Not to say that you couldn't build a CDN on AWS, but if you're going to do it, wanting to do it for cheaper than someone who doesn't pay markup on the same instances (Amazon) isn't realistic.
