CDN - Amazon CloudFront

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic content to users. It integrates with other Amazon Web Services (AWS) products, such as Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and Amazon Route 53, to give developers a fast, easy-to-use, and cost-effective way to distribute content globally. 

What is CloudFront? 
● CloudFront is a global CDN that delivers content from a network of edge locations around the world. 
● Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up the delivery of static and dynamic content to users. 
● It integrates with other AWS products, such as Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and Amazon Route 53, to give developers a fast, easy-to-use, and cost-effective way to distribute content globally. 
● When a user requests content that is served by CloudFront, the request is automatically routed to the edge location that is closest to the user, which speeds up the delivery of the content. 
● CloudFront supports a wide range of content types, including static content (such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files), dynamic content (such as API responses and streaming video), and media files (such as MP3s and MP4s). 
● It also supports custom origins, which allows you to deliver content from your own servers or origin infrastructure.
To use CloudFront, you will need to create a CloudFront distribution and configure it to deliver your content. You can then use the CloudFront console or the CloudFront API to manage your distribution and monitor its performance. 

Creating a CloudFront Distribution 
To create a CloudFront distribution, you will need to perform the following steps: 
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console. 
2. Navigate to the CloudFront console. 
3. Click the "Create Distribution" button. 
4. Select the type of distribution you want to create. There are two types of CloudFront distributions: Web distributions and RTMP distributions. 5. Select the delivery method for your content. You can choose to deliver your content from an Amazon S3 bucket, an Amazon EC2 instance, an Elastic Load Balancer, or a custom origin. 
6. Configure the settings for your distribution, such as the origin domain name, the caching behaviour, and the SSL certificate. 
7. Review your distribution settings and click "Create Distribution" to create the distribution. 

Once you have created a CloudFront distribution, you can use it to deliver content to users around the world. You can also use the CloudFront console or the CloudFront API to manage your distribution, such as to update the origin or to invalidate cached objects. 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a variety of storage and data transfer services to help developers store, manage, and move their data into the cloud. In this blog, we will explore two important services in this category: Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration and AWS Snowball.
