Pick the right CDN provider
Spawned from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/57#note_32132521
---
### Picked Fastly
---
### To consider
#### Cloudfront
- https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/
#### Fastly
- https://www.fastly.com (setup within 24 hours for GitHub: https://www.fastly.com/customers/github/)
#### CDN77
- https://www.cdn77.com/
---
### Considered but discarded
#### CloudFlare
- Plans described on https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/
- I can use your help @briann @stanhu @pcarranza @andrewn @jtevnan in picking which one is right for us. The cost implications are significant for the more expensive plans.
- I'm wondering if we can even make do with the Free plan for now? https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/business/#compare-features
- @andrewn points out: "It seems, from reading the Cloudflare docs and from phoning their pre-sales support team, that Cloudflare doesn't support a classic CDN setup. Rather, they have to take over your DNS configuration for `gitlab.com`, which I feel is too risky for what we're trying to achieve here (which is a simple CDN setup)"
