I think the missing piece is proxying from an existing image server source.

Say I have hundreds of gigabytes of images "somewhere". How can I start using that with Cloudflare?

I think this is great for new stuff, or small projects, but for the larger and older projects, it's a non-starter.

The no-storage version of it already exists: https://developers.cloudflare.com/image-resizing/

but when the "somewhere" is S3, AWS egress costs can easily fund Bezos' next space trip. To fix that, Cloudflare now added cheap storage.

Non-starter because you don't want to migrate the images into Cloudflare? I.e. you want the transformation/caching of some non-CDN images via Cloudflare?

Asking as this could look very attractive (£ wise) for a project with images stored in Uploadcare where it would be feasible for us to do the source-image migration.
