AWS and CloudFlare: Doing Some Math, Eating Some Pizza
October 4, 2021
I read “Unroll Thread” and noted an interesting point of information; to wit:
If 1 million people download that 1GB this month, my cost with @cloudflare R2 this way rounds up to 13¢. With @awscloud S3 it’s $59,247.52. THAT is why people are losing their minds over this. Slight correction: $53,891.16. Apologies, the @awscloud pricing calculator LOVES to slip “developer support” onto the tab.
I am not too sharp at the math thing, but at first glance it sure looks to me that Cloudflare is less costly for this type of data transfer. What’s the multiplier? Sure looks to be more that twice. On second glance, that difference is a tiny bit closer to a lot more.
Several questions:
- Will the author seek a business analysis role at AWS?
- Will either AWS or Cloudflare clarify the analysis?
- Has no other person or certified cloud professional noticed the minor discrepancy?
Interesting indeed.
