On: The good parts of AWS: a visual summary

CloudFront will likely help you save costs if there is a benefit to caching the content. For example, if all of those 30 download the same file, from a similar geographic area around the same time, you should see some cost reduction.

Otherwise, it might not be worth the cost of the distribution!

Thanks. Yeah, same files and geographic area.

I'm paying for either S3 or CloudFront for distribution regardless, and either way their transfer out to internet pricing looks similar:

https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

Transferring from S3 to CloudFront looks free, so I might give it a try. Already have S3, just have to set up CLoudFront.

I hope I didn't miss something on pricing... really can't afford bill shock!
