As per your example

HLS typically uses chunks of ten seconds. Each of those are a separate request. So, a two hour show is the same amount of data vs a normal download, but 7,200 requests vs just one.

1,000,000 / 7200 = 138

1000 Plays / 138 = 7.24 x .75 = $5.43

So, in all reality, the request is where you get killed on AWS

This is where the clouflare solution is better until you move to much traffic and they force you into a contract.
