How to subscribe to Edge Services

Edge Services is an additional feature for Scaleway Load Balancers and Object Storage buckets. It provides:

• A caching service to improve performance by reducing load on your origin
• A Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect your origin from threats and malicious activity
• A customizable and secure endpoint for accessing content via Edge Services, which can be set to a subdomain of your choice

To use Edge Services, you must subscribe to a pricing plan. Within its monthly price, each pricing plan includes:

• A fixed number of Edge Services pipelines. You can create pipelines for either Load Balancers, Object Storage buckets, or a mixture of both, with your subscription plan.
• A certain amount of egress cache data (the quantity of data transferred from Edge Services’ caches, not including the transfer from the origin bucket or Load Balancer).
• A certain amount of WAF requests (the number of requests that can be filtered through WAF across all your pipelines)

If you create more pipelines than are included in your plan, or your pipelines’ caches egress more data than is included, or you make more WAF requests than are included, you will be charged additionally for this. The rates per pipeline/GB of data are indicated on the pricing page.

Subscriptions are pro-rata, meaning you can cancel your subscription or change your plan at any time, and you will be charged proportionally.
