Details

To make a deep explanation of the key facts, here is a snappy illustration about the CloudFront Security Savings Bundle launched recently by AWS.

“Making a CloudFront usage commitment of $100 per month will cover $142.86 worth of CloudFront usage for a saving of 30 percent compared to regular rates. Besides, to secure your CloudFront services at no extra charge per month, up to $10 of AWS WAF use would be included (up to 10% of your CloudFront commitment). For any use beyond what is protected by your monthly spending commitment, regular CloudFront and AWS WAF charges apply. You can purchase additional savings bundles to gain discounts on incremental use as the utilization increases.”

Up to 10% of the WAF use applied to CloudFront resources is included, as aforementioned. This is fantastic if you don't use WAF (Web Application Firewall), but if you do and you have variable CloudFront usage, the fact that this is included in a portion of the discount makes it more likely that you can always make full use of your commitment.
