Last month was pretty stable at about 5,000 simultaneous users all
month.
This month is the first time we have actual usage numbers from Azure.
They told us what the cost would have been, but did not actually charge
us. This month (September) is the last month on the free grant we have
for Azure. After that, we will probably have to throttle Azure just like
the other backends. If you want to help make domain fronting more
efficient and future-proof, a good place to direct your attention is to
this ticket, which aims to start using domain fronting as a cheap,
low-volume interface to BridgeDB, instead of as a bulk data transfer
channel:

If you want to set up your own bridge and CDN instance without rate
limiting, I can help you do it. Here are some docs to look at:

== App Engine a.k.a. meek-google ==
Here is how the Google costs broke down:

5451 instance hours $272.55
Compared to the previous month:
2920 GB $350.38

== Amazon a.k.a. meek-amazon ==
Asia Pacific (Singapore) 102M requests $122.83 909 GB $120.81
Asia Pacific (Sydney) 2M requests $2.53 6 GB $0.88
Asia Pacific (Tokyo) 9M requests $11.60 57 GB $7.54

https://globe.torproject.org/#/bridge/3FD131B74D9A96190B1EE5D31E91757FADA1A4F3
== Azure a.k.a. meek-azure ==
This is the first month where we have actual (not estimated) usage
numbers, as a result of the new kind of account we're using.
Unfortunately (also as a result of the account transition), meek-azure
was broken until August 14, so these number really only represent half a
month.
Zone 1 3726 GB $324.20
Zone 2 1206 GB $166.39
--
total 4932 GB $490.58
