Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service built for high performance, security, and developer convenience.

  • Optimize dynamic web content delivery with the purpose-built and feature-rich AWS global network infrastructure supporting edge termination and WebSockets.

• Stream live and on-demand video

  • Start streams quickly, play them with consistency, and deliver high-quality video to any device with AWS Media Service and AWS Elemental integration.

• Distribute patches and updates

  • Scale automatically to deliver software, game patches, and IoT over-the-air (OTA) updates at scale with high transfer rates.

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service offering industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

Use cases :

• Build a data lake

  • Run big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high performance computing (HPC) applications to unlock data insights.
