AWS just released flat-rate pricing plans with no overages yesterday. You opt into a $0, $15, or $200/mo plan and at the end of the month your bill is still $0, $15, or $200.

It solves the problem of unexpected requests or data transfer increasing your bill across several services.

https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ says that the $15-per-month plan comes with 50TB of "data transfer"

Does "data transfer" not mean CDN bandwidth here? Otherwise, that price seems two orders of magnitude less than I would expect

With AWS, there's always a catch. In this case, it's for 10M requests. In other words, you pay $15 for 10M requests of up to 5MB each.

[edit: looks like there's no overages but they may force you to flip to the next tier and seems like they will throttle you https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Develope....]

The $15 plan notably does not come with DDoS protection though.

		the pricing page says it comes with "Always-on DDoS Protection" but not "Advanced DDoS Protection" I have no idea what these terms mean in practice
