| Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, .css .js and image files. | |
| Delivers content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. | |
| When a user requests content served via Cloudfront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency. | |
| If the content is on the edge location - immediately delivered, if not Cloudfront retrieves it from an origin you have defined. | |
| > Speeds up the retrieval of content by routing through the AWS backbone to the edge location that can best serve your content. | |
| > This reduces the number of networks that the request must pass thru, increasing perofrmance, lowering latency. | |
| > As a byproduct you get better reliablity and avialbility because copies of your files are now cached in multiple edge locations | |
| around the world. | |
| Use Cases: | |
| > Accelerate Static Website Content Delivery | |
| > Serve on demand or live streaming video | |
| > Encrypt specific fields through system processings | |
| > Customize at edge | |
| > Serve private content by using Lambda@edge customizations |
