About
Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network from AWS that helps organizations deliver websites, APIs, video, and other content with low latency and high transfer speeds. It routes traffic through globally distributed edge locations to improve performance, availability, and security for applications served from AWS or any publicly accessible origin.
The service is designed to accelerate both cacheable and dynamic workloads while reducing load on origin infrastructure. It also supports security and edge-compute capabilities that help teams protect applications and customize behavior closer to end users.
- Global CDN with hundreds of edge locations and automated routing
- Low-latency delivery for websites, APIs, and streaming media
- Security features including encryption, access controls, and DDoS protection
- Edge compute capabilities for customizing code at the network edge
- Integration with AWS origins and publicly accessible origins
Free Tier Value
The pricing page shows a $0/month Free plan with capped monthly allowances: 1M requests, 100GB data transfer, 5 WAF rules, and 5GB included S3 storage, all with no overage charges. Because this is a capped free tier rather than an unbounded always-free offer, the free_tier_value_usd_per_month should be estimated from the included quotas, but the page does not provide enough concrete unit pricing to compute a reliable conservative dollar value, so it is set to null. Feature parity is partial because higher tiers add logging, advanced DDoS protection, bot management, SLA, and larger allowances.
