Secure CDN Solution

• Static asset cachingCloudFront can speed up the delivery of your static content (e.g., images, style sheets, JavaScript, etc.) to viewers across the globe. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) offers a multi-tier cache by default, with regional Edge caches that improve latency and lower the load on your origin servers when the object is not already cached at the Edge. Caching static content gives you the performance and scale you need to give your viewers a fast and reliable experience when visiting your website.
• Live & on-demand video streamingThe CloudFront CDN offers multiple options for streaming your media – both pre-recorded files and live events – at sustained, high throughput required for 4K delivery to global viewers. For on-demand streaming, you can use CloudFront for multi-bitrate adaptive streaming in Microsoft Smooth, HLS, HDS, or MPEG-DASH formats to any device. To broadcast a live stream, you can use the Content Delivery Network to cache the media fragments at the edge and collapse multiple requests for the manifest file to reduce load to your origin.
• SecurityCloudFront integrates seamlessly with Shield for Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation and WAF for Layer 7 protection. In addition, CloudFront negotiates TLS connections with the highest security ciphers, and authenticates viewers with signed URLs. You can also use our advanced feature Field-Level Encryption to protect most sensitive data throughout your enterprise, so the information can only be viewed by certain components and services in your application stack. CloudFront also integrates with Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access, with CloudTrail to log access to your configuration, and with Certificate Manager (ACM) for automated certificate renewals.
• To publish through self-defined content of Lambda@Edge Through Lambda@Edge, you can easily execute codes in global cloud vendors posts, respond to your end users with lowest delay, and define your customized content.
