AWS Cloud Front

less than a minute
CloudFront works by distributing and caching your content across its global network of edge locations. When a user requests content, CloudFront serves it from the edge location closest to the user, minimizing the time it takes to travel from the server to the user’s device.
Fast content delivery: By caching content at edge locations around the world, CloudFront reduces the latency experienced by users when accessing content, resulting in shorter load times.
Scalability: can automatically scale to handle traffic spikes and increased demand without manual intervention.
Security: integrates with other AWS security services, such as AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) and AWS Shield, to protect your content from common web threats like DDoS attacks and application vulnerabilities.
Customization: allows you to configure caching behavior, content compression, and custom SSL certificates, giving you control over how your content is served to users.
Integration with AWS services: works seamlessly with other AWS services like Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and AWS Lambda, making it easy to incorporate into your existing AWS infrastructure.
Pay-as-you-go pricing: only pay for the data transfer and requests you use, without any upfront fees or long-term commitments.
