Building Your First Amazon CloudFront Distribution

In this hands-on lab, you will create a high-performing Content Delivery Network (CDN) distribution using CloudFront in AWS for your S3 bucket. The static website you built for Globomantics has gained significant popularity, attracting a growing global user base. Since the site is entirely static, there’s no need to modify the underlying application. However, you’ve received complaints about poor performance from users in different regions. This is where CloudFront excels! By leveraging CloudFront, you’ll ensure the Globomantics website delivers optimal performance, regardless of the user’s location.
