Introduction to Amazon CloudFront

Learn how Amazon CloudFront delivers websites, APIs, videos, and other content with low latency.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service. It delivers content through a global network of edge locations.
When a user requests content, CloudFront can serve cached content from an edge location closer to the user. This can reduce latency and improve application performance.
CloudFront can work with origins such as Amazon S3 and web servers running on AWS infrastructure.
