Opportunity Name:
CloudFront Security Savings Bundle
AWS Resource Type:
Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF
Opportunity Description:
By enrolling in the CloudFront Security Savings Bundle, customers commit to a specified monthly spend on CloudFront services for a one-year period. In return, they receive a discount of up to 30% on their CloudFront usage charges. Additionally, the bundle provides AWS WAF usage credits equivalent to 10% of the committed amount, enabling customers to protect their web applications from common web exploits without incurring additional costs.
Criteria for Identifying the Opportunity:
This opportunity is suitable for customers who:
- Have consistent or predictable monthly CloudFront usage.
- Are looking to optimize costs associated with content delivery and web application security.
- Are planning to implement or are currently using AWS WAF for enhanced security measures.
Potential Savings:
Customers can achieve up to 30% savings on their CloudFront charges. For example, committing to $70 per month provides $100 worth of CloudFront usage, effectively offering a 30% discount. Additionally, the bundle includes AWS WAF usage credits up to 10% of the committed amount, further enhancing cost savings.
What Happens When the Fixer is Executed?
There is no automated fixer for this opportunity. Customers must manually enroll in the CloudFront Security Savings Bundle via the AWS Management Console.
Is it Possible to Roll Back Once CloudFix Implements the Fixer?
Not applicable – since the enrollment must be done manually, there is no rollback capability through CloudFix. Also, once the commitment is made to AWS, it cannot be canceled or reduced during the one-year term.
Can CloudFix Implement the Fix Automatically Once I Accept the Recommendation?
No – this is a manual process. CloudFix can identify and recommend the opportunity, but it cannot perform the enrollment on your behalf.
Does the Fix Require Downtime?
No – enrolling in the CloudFront Security Savings Bundle does not impact the operation of CloudFront distributions or associated services and requires no downtime.
