Recommended: Migrate static assets to Cloudflare R2
1
Create R2 bucket — S3-compatible API, takes 2 minutes in Cloudflare dashboard
2
Sync existing objects — Use rclone or aws s3 sync with R2 endpoint. ~30 min for 5TB.
3
Update DNS / CDN origin — Point your distribution at R2 instead of S3.
4
Monitor for 1 week — Verify latency and availability match your SLA.
5
Decommission S3 bucket — Stop paying egress. Forever.
