You don't generally pay for bandwidth within AWS so those "extra steps" wouldn't factor in to the costs

I admit it has been a while since I've been familiar with specific internal AWS bandwidth costs (cost for transfers between AZs, for example), so my apologies if that was too broad of a stroke (I am familiar with AWS pricing "gotchas" where you incur unexpected costs with services). In any case, Cloudflare does not charge for bandwidth with this product. Cloudfront's egress pricing can be found here [1].

Depending on your use case (from an image hosting & CDN perspective), this product is a slam dunk vs rolling your own on AWS.

Yeah I'd agree
