Popular about Amazon Web Services: CloudFront [continued]

Hello Everyone!image

In his previous article on the subject of AWS, I talked in General terms about all the services, with whom I worked. Today I decided to add a story article about CloudFront, because there is something to tell.

Amazon CloudFront


Description

CloudFront — Content Delivery Network (CDN — Content Delivery Network) from Amazon, based on the S3 or other source files. Distribution (Distribution) is created and assigned to S3 bucket, or another source specified by the user.

Creating the distribution of content as follows:
    the
  1. Select a bucket:

  6. the
  7. to Send the CNAME to the domain to to provide after you create address distribution Domain Name

form of distribution

CloudWatch supports 2 types of distribution:

    Download (Download) — used for static site content (images, js, css).

    Broadcasting (Streaming) — used to broadcast audio/video content. The main difference of such a distribution is the possibility to stop the playback, i.e. press pause, rewind. In the same way in broadcasting, you can insert ads in certain places the playback of the file.



Points of distribution

As with any CDN service, CloudFront, has points of distribution (Edge Network) around the world:
the the the the the the the the the the the the the
USA Europe Asia South America
Ashburn, VA Amsterdam Hong Kong Sao Paulo

Los Angeles, CA (2) London Tokyo
Miami, FL Milan
New York, NY (2) Paris
Newark, NJ Stockholm
Palo Alto, CA
San Jose, CA
Seattle, WA
South Bend, IN

As you can see, AWS is more targeted at the US and Europe, but from Kharkov, for example, I have suffered in Milan with a pretty good speed:

Billing

Billing CloudFront is for traffic and HTTP requests. At the moment of billing for traffic S3 and CloudFront are the same, so the CDN from Amazon you can get the "appendage" to S3.
