Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers globally with low latency, high transfer speeds, and no commitments.
Here are some key terms related to CloudFront:
• Distribution: A distribution is the combination of a CDN with a specific origin or group of origins, and a set of behaviors that you can configure to determine how CloudFront serves your content.
• Origin: An origin is the source of your content. It can be an Amazon S3 bucket, an EC2 instance, an Elastic Load Balancer, or an HTTP server, among other things.
• Edge location: An edge location is a location where content is cached. CloudFront serves your content from an edge location rather than the origin, which can reduce latency and improve performance.
• Web distribution: A web distribution is a distribution that is optimized for delivery of static and dynamic content, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images.
• RTMP distribution: An RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) distribution is a distribution that is optimized for delivery of streaming media, such as video and audio.
To create a CloudFront distribution, you can use the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the CloudFront API. Here's a high-level overview of the process:
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudFront console.
2. Choose Create Distribution.
3. On the Create Distribution page, choose Get Started for the type of distribution that you want to create.
4. On the Select a delivery method for your content page, choose the delivery method for your content: Web or RTMP.
5. Follow the prompts to specify the details of your distribution, such as the origin and behaviors.
6. Review your distribution settings and choose Create Distribution.
It can take some time for the distribution to be fully deployed and for the status to change to Deployed. Once the distribution is deployed, you can use the distribution's domain name to serve content through the CDN.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
