In the AWS 80% of the bill is Cloudfront. Why not putting Cloudflare on top of AWS and you have almost the same price. This article is basically comparing paid vs free CDN...

Why yes. The point is AWS is charging people through the nose for bandwidth.

Switch the bandwidth past Cloudfront, and you still pay bandwidth costs that no one else charges.

It's no wonder Cloudflare and a bunch of other providers have latched onto this in their positioning to AWS.
