    Amazon CloudFront is the perfect solution for any type of company. If a company is small or medium size, CloudFront offers 1 TB monthly free bandwidth which is more than for any small and medium size companies. If we compare the speed of CloudFront with other CDN, CloudFront is way ahead of their competitors and with 1 TB free bandwidth. If someone is ready to invest time in CloudFront documentation then he/she definitely go for it.

    I believe it covers everything related to the applications' security aspects, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made. For example, better granular controls like bot categories listed on the distributed console and a granular URL-based control for the rate-limiting option are needed.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • if a website’s static data are based in New York City, people in Boston will get the content faster than people in San Francisco or Tokyo. The farther away customers are from a company’s data center, the slower the website or application loads. This problem can be fixed with a content delivery network like Amazon CloudFront
    • When a visitor requests a file from your website, Amazon CloudFront automatically sends the request to a copy of the file at the nearest edge location. This results in faster download times.
    • You may have great hosting but it doesn’t have the capacity or scalability offered by Google, Microsoft or Yahoo. The better CDNs like Amazon CloudFront offer higher availability, lower network latency and lower packet loss.
    • Amazon CloudFront provides 24/7 email and phone support
    • Amazon CloudFront Free Tier allows you to free up to 50 GB of data transfer and 2,000,000 HTTP and HTTPS requests / month for one year.

    • It auto-discovers APIs, even the ones engineers forget to document. Then profiles them without needing changes to our codebase.
    • Shadow API exposure.
    • It's pretty decent at abnormal behavior detection.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Kinda of costlier when compared to rivals providing the same service
    • The setup of Distribution is kinda little complicated, need good exposure before setting up the service
    • Sometimes we can go with S3 Delivery service rather than Cloudfront if the website is providing static content and its way cheaper

    • More accurate detection of advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting APIs.
    • A greater emphasis on checking APIs' schema and contract may prevent them from accepting misconfigurations or malicious input.
    • More customized, dynamic, and targeted protection for high-value APIs or high-risk user groups.

    CloudFront is a good CDN solution. It can be a bit complicated to implement depending on your needs, but AWS tech support is great. You get to avoid a ton of upfront costs by going with CloudFront. It works best in conjunction with other AWS services in your infrastructure. Once you set it up, you won't need to do much to maintain it. It just works.

    Amazon has always been creative and leading, and I have been using its services for years. They are very reassuring and have fast and responsive support--you can call them from any time zone to respond quickly. High security on servers, open hands on changes, and increasing and decreasing server resources and features.

    We ran a short POC with Salt. Its data classification and attack replay features were impressive. What held us back was the limited support for hybrid deployments and poor integration into our CI/CD pipelines, as F5 did.
