Pricing, since it's not explicitly mentioned in the blog post:<p><pre><code> You pay $600 per month for each custom SSL certificate associated with one
or more CloudFront distributions. This monthly fee is pro-rated by the hour.
For example, if you had your custom SSL certificate associated with at least
one CloudFront distribution for just 24 hours (i.e. 1 day) in the month of June,
your total charge for using the custom SSL certificate feature in June will be
(1 day / 30 days) * $600 = $20.</code></pre>
Any ideas on how they accomplish this?<p>I presume it means that when I upload an SSL cert and associate it with one (or more) cloudfront distribution, that Amazon ends up dedicating at least one IP address at every edge location solely to my SSL cert?<p>I guess the scarcity of IP address space explains the steep pricing? They want you to consider other options before asking to reserve 40 dedicated IP addresses.
Both of these features look really useful; kudos to AWS for launching them. I've already moved my personal website's root domain directly to CloudFront. (I was previously hosting the root domain through S3 and the "www" through CloudFront, so it's nice to have them both set up the same way now.)
Awesome. I just started with cloudfront a few weeks ago and to my understanding the root domain thing has been asked about for years. I was kind of bummed that I had to start using www because I have a pretty short domain.
