Configure Amazon cloud front
- 1. What Is Amazon CloudFront? Amazon Cloud Front is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .php, and image files, to your users. Cloud Front delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you're serving with Cloud Front, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), If the content is already in the edge location with the lowest latency, Cloud Front delivers it immediately. If the content is not in that edge location, Cloud Front retrieves it from an Amazon S3 bucket or an HTTP server (for example, a web server) that you have identified as the source for the definitive version of your content. This dramatically reduces the number of networks that your users' requests must pass through, which improves performance. Users get lower latency— the time it takes to load the first byte of the file—and higher data transfer rates. You also get increased reliability and availability because copies of your files (also known as objects) are now held in multiple edge locations around the world.
