Usage & billing guides
Map traffic, storage, requests and support requirements before estimating cost. Rates, minimum usage and service scope depend on the agreed quotation.
CDN billing: traffic, regions and delivery scope
Prepare CDN pricing requirements around traffic, bandwidth, regions and security scope, distinguishing delivery usage, requests and origin costs.
Storage costs: capacity, replicas and lifecycle
Assess storage capacity over time, regional replicas, operations and transfer when planning migration, backups and CDN origin access.
Video costs: processing, storage and delivery
Break down video budgets into processing, renditions, storage and viewing traffic, with separate checks for players, captions and licensing.
Image optimization costs and delivery budgets
Assess image-optimization budgets by source count, size variants, transformation frequency and delivery traffic, avoiding uncontrolled variants and repeat processing.
DNS costs: queries and routing policies
Prepare DNS requirements for zones, queries, records and policies, reviewing standard resolution, traffic steering, health checks and migration costs.
Billing guide: budgets, usage and reconciliation
Review quotes, service scope, usage definitions, overage rules and mid-period changes to build a maintainable delivery budget.
