Amazon S3 Pricing Changes Effective April 1, 2014

I just did some price comparison. It looks like cloudfront is actually the same price as data transfer out of S3, but in addition you have to tack on a $.02/GB fee to get the data to your cloudfront edge nodes.

If I am wrong about this (and I hope I am), where can I find more information about that?

Thanks!

No, you're right. I use cloud front and you have to pay for the day at to go from S3 to cloud front servers where it gets cached. Then the costs are $0.14/gb in the cheapest region.

If your cache gets deleted or expired, you'll have to pay to move the data (at s3 rates) to the CDN again when someone requests it.

Cloudfront actually becomes cheaper than S3 once you start scaling up to large amounts of data, plus you get the added speed benefit.
