#### Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN is a mechanism to deliver content quickly and efficiently based on geographic location.

Latency simply means the time it takes to respond to a request, and a CND provides low latency.

## Amazon CloudFront

CloudFront is a CDN that delivers data and applications globally with low latency

* Makes content available globally or restricts it based on location
* Speeds up delivery of static and dynamic web content
* Uses edge locations to cache content

#### CloudFront in the real world

1. **S3 static websites:** CloudFront is often used with S3 to deploy content globally.
2. **Prevent attacks:** CloudFront can stop certain web attacks, like DDoS.
3. **IP address blocking:** Geo-restriction prevents users in certain countries from accessing content.

## Amazon Global Accelerator
