AWS CloudFront Flat-Rate Pricing Plans

Starting today, you can subscribe and manage flat-rate pricing plans programmatically using the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, CloudFormation, CDK, or the PricingPlanManager API. CloudFront flat-rate plans offer a monthly price covering global content delivery, WAF, DDoS, DNS, logging, and edge compute, with no usage-based overage charges.

What to do

  • Subscribe, upgrade, downgrade, and cancel flat-rate pricing plans using the API or IaC tools.
  • Paid plans have a two-phase activation flow: create the plan and approve it to begin billing.
  • Free plans activate immediately and don’t require approval.
