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

Zenlayer CDN combines edge delivery with managed routing and origin connectivity. It is a candidate for downloads, web content and media that need delivery across several markets.

Zenlayer also sells other networking services. Start with the CDN requirement so the proposal includes the right product.

Network

The CDN product describes global delivery with intelligent DNS and IP-based routing. Check the locations and paths offered for your audience and origin. Global Accelerator and private connectivity can be additional parts of a design; they are separate from ordinary cached delivery.

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

  • Traffic: website, download and media delivery, including WebSocket support described in the CDN brief.
  • Access: IP and referrer controls, URL authentication and origin verification.
  • Resilience: origin routing and failover options for distributed applications.

Pricing

Request a CDN quote with traffic by audience region, file sizes, peaks and origin locations. Confirm any traffic commitment, delivery rate and separately billed connectivity or acceleration services.

Use the agreed CDN rates for an estimate, keeping Global Accelerator and private-connectivity costs separate.

Developer tools

The product brief describes API management, HTTPS and TLS 1.3. Confirm the current CDN API access and configuration workflow during onboarding. Test origin authentication and failure behavior before adding a second networking product.

When it fits

  • Cross-region downloads or media with a managed networking requirement.
  • Teams wanting delivery and origin connectivity discussed together.

Before you choose

  • Keep CDN, Global Accelerator and private-connectivity charges separate.
  • Verify current delivery locations and account-level API access.
