I'm not sure how in any shape or form CloudFront is complicated to implement. It is literally as follows:
1) Create an amazon S3 bucks
2) Upload your files to that bucket
3) Publish that S3 bucket to cloudfront with two clicks in the AWS console
4) Update your DNS CName to point to your CloudFront distribution
Rackspace is fantastic for customer service, but for CDN services, you'll have to weight whether the difference between 22 cents/GB vs Amazon's 10 cents/GB for US bandwidth distribution is worth it.
IMHO it is tough to justify 12 cents/GB just for "better" customer service for a CDN.
- byoung2 17y agoDoesn't Amazon charge for bandwidth from S3 to Cloudfront as well as bandwidth from edge servers? The pricing I saw was 17 cents/GB for CloudFront, plus the cost to transfer from S3. Amazon CloudFront uses Amazon S3 as the origin server to store the original, definitive versions of your files. Normal fees will apply for Amazon S3 usage, including "origin fetches" - data transferred from Amazon S3 to edge locations.
