Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

EdgeNext provides CDN delivery, cloud security and separate edge infrastructure. Its regional focus includes China, Southeast Asia and MENA.

Global CDN, Security CDN, live media and compute have different configuration and commercial terms. China delivery includes ICP assistance; customer requirements still need confirmation.

Network

The current CDN pages advertise 1,500+ edge nodes across 290+ cities and 90+ Tbps capacity. A provider correction separately lists 68 countries. Ask which cache locations are available for your audience and chosen service.

Media-processing locations and office addresses have different roles. Test delivery from your audience’s ISPs and confirm the locations included in the service.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.

  • Multi-level caching, prewarming and multi-origin rules.
  • Timestamp-based URL protection and access controls.
  • Live RTMP/RTMPS inputs with HLS/DASH outputs, recording and transcoding.
  • Plan-specific DDoS, WAF, bot and rate controls.

Security CDN Basic uses WAF observation; enforcing protection and bot features differ on custom plans. HTTPS requires certificate configuration. Purge documentation describes second-level performance, not instant completion for every request.

Edge servers and bare metal provide infrastructure. Ask separately about code running on CDN viewer requests. Specific HTTP/3 and TLS-version support needs confirmation.

Pricing

Security CDN Basic is advertised at $180/month with 500 GB, ten services and 1,000 QPS. WAF is observation-only and bot protection differs on custom plans. Regional pricing can vary. Excess-traffic rates and other unit charges are unconfirmed, so use your own quote in the calculator.

The security page advertises a 14-day trial; the homepage advertises a month across core products. Confirm the selected offer. Provider guidance identifies SCDN and ECS as self-service products.

CDN documentation states billing traffic includes a 10% allowance above application bytes in access logs. Include billing units, overhead and optional products when requesting a quote.

Developer tools

CDN APIs cover supported domain, cache, origin and certificate operations. Configuration API access requires provider enablement and credentials. Terraform support is confirmed by the provider; confirm resource and version coverage during onboarding.

Default access logs are daily packages retained for 30 days. Initial availability is roughly an hour, and files can continue changing for about 48 hours. Ask about other delivery arrangements rather than assume continuous streaming. Live-media workflows include OBS and FFmpeg.

When it fits

  • Delivery to China, Southeast Asia or MENA with regional onboarding help.
  • Live media using the documented ingest and output formats.
  • Projects that can match CDN and security limits to a workload-specific contract.

Before you choose

  • Security CDN Basic’s observation-only WAF does not block attacks; check the protection level you need.
  • Default logs arrive as daily files, so arrange another option if you need continuous delivery.
  • Check HTTP/3 and viewer-request function support separately from infrastructure compute and QUIC optimization.
