AWS finally did something nice with CloudFront pricing: flat-rate plans that bundle CDN, WAF, DNS, logging, and S3 credits into one predictable monthly bill. In this article we break down what each plan really includes, where the fine print bites, and how to decide if flat-rate actually saves money for your site.
Modern CDNs and SaaS platforms usually give you a hostname, not a fixed IP address—but DNS rules forbid using a CNAME at the root of your domain. This post explains why ALIAS, ANAME, and CNAME flattening exist, how they let you safely point example.com at CloudFront or another CDN, and which DNS providers support apex aliasing (and which ones still don’t).
When you restore an AWS EBS snapshot onto the same Linux server, the cloned filesystem shares the original UUID—and that can trick your system into booting from the wrong disk. This guide walks through a safe, repeatable process to mount snapshot-based volumes, reset their UUIDs, and restore files without risking your root filesystem.
Blue/green deployments on EC2 keep two production-grade environments behind an ALB so you can verify the new version, flip traffic instantly, and roll back just as fast.
