Amazon CloudFront overview

What is Amazon CloudFront?

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that helps businesses manage high-speed and low-latency transfers to deliver videos, applications, data, and APIs to end-users. It lets staff members provide a flexible and layered security perimeter to protect against network attacks and application layer DDoS attacks.

Amazon CloudFront enables employees to ensure data and communication security by delivering data over HTTPS and utilizing Transport Layer Security (TLS) optimizations, such as OCSP stapling, session tickers, field-level encryption, perfect forward secrecy, and more on a centralized platform. Administrators can configure access rights and set up authentication protocols using signed URLs, signed cookies, and token authentication. It also lets supervisors set up geo-location-based restrictions to ensure user and data security.

Amazon CloudFront allows businesses to deliver data in compliance with regulatory bodies, such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO. Team members can maintain standard and real-time logs and generate granular metrics to gain insights into data delivery operations.

Jb B.

CTO

“In general I do not like how AWS handles logging. I also dislike that other AWS services initially returned errors that necessitated the use of a CloudFront to correct incorrect headers.”

“The pricing is not so transparent as it at times it can leave you guessing what the actual price you would be charged after adding up everything.”
