Excellent CDN service

What do you like best? Amazon CloudFront is a CDN. To be honest, it's not the most features CDN on the market, but I personally believe it provides everything required for the majority of use cases at an affordable pricing.

One of the best, reliable and cheap CDN.

What do you like best? One of the best feature of cloudfront is that it is part of the AWS ecosystem, has an amazing free tier, very east to setup and also supports https by default. Lambda at edge is another feature that makes cloudfront unique and functional. What do you dislike? Cloudfront is very pocket frontly if you don't have a huge data transfer, once the data crosses several 100 TBs the prices go very high. Takes around 40 mins to setup, wish this would have been faster. Another ...

Easy to implement cache and WAF layer

What do you like best? Very easy to setup a basic cache/CDN in front of an existing web platform. Good support for changing behaviors for different filetypes/locations/etc. What do you dislike? We use the same setup for many different sites/accounts, but there is no way to copy an existing cloud front deployment (like for launch configs. Can use cloud formation, but no way to copy in the Console. Recommendations to others considering the product Put it in front of your web servers, even ...
