> *The ideal way to do this is to generate an SSL certificate for the CloudFront distribution, but Amazon charges you $7,200 per year for that privilege: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/
Maybe using SSL as an opportunity for a premium price gouge was smart business practice in the 90s. But these days, it's wrong.
Charge for the actual cost. Even add your customary markup. But not some arbitrary $7200 fee.
It may be legal, but it's unethical. Until they change it, Jeff Bezos and Werner Vogels should be ashamed of doing this.
