True, didn't think about it from the limited cost perspective. Would be a lot of traffic to get you past $20, but a possibility like you say.


Put CF in front of that VPS and it is better than S3.


One can also have CloudFront before S3, IIRC.


That is my goto setup for static or semi-static sites. In theory you could still see a runaway bill with CloudFront, although I haven't checked the numbers to actually see what magnitude of traffic would be needed for it to really hurt?

*edit* did a quick check, based on my definition of hurt about 1,000 request per second sustained for the month or > 12TB traffic would hurt. But then again, I'm sure there is some other weird edge case that AWS bills for that could incur more severe costs with less traffic. And that is what I take 0xFF0123 to imply
