How does AWS Cloudfront cost work for requests


After reading the documentation on AWS Cloudfront, I am aware that there is a cost for every 10,000 requests (either HTTP or HTTPS).

I was curious about whether the cost applies to all requests on Cloudfront including those files that are cached or does it apply only apply to requests for invalidating current cached files?

I am guessing it's the first option, but I wanted to know just to be in case!


Solution

  • The pricing page indicates the request pricing for all HTTP/HTTPS methods per 10,000 requests (which will include both content fetch and invalidation requests). Note that HTTPS requests cost more.

    Invalidation requests themselves have an additional cost, after the first 1,000 per month.
