Both AWS and Azure run ColdFusion 2025 well — there is no technical blocker on either cloud. The real decision is commercial and architectural. AWS gives you the broadest ecosystem, the most mature container and serverless tooling, and a large free egress tier (100 GB/month).

ColdFusion’s own licensing cost is now fixed at $760/year (Standard) or $2,930/year (Enterprise) per server, subscription-only since February 2025, and is cloud-agnostic — it doesn’t change based on which cloud you choose.
