Overall Satisfaction with Amazon CloudFront
The main reason we use Cloudfront is to serve our Global Customers in a significantly faster manner. This happens through the concept called edge locations. Our static data will be present in edge locations distributed across the globe. Using this our customers will be able to interact with our website faster. Also, this improves our Customer experience as well. Also, it has inbuilt WAF(Firewall) and we can even restrict to which geography locations we need to serve our website.
- Delivers our Content faster all over the Globe
- Inbulit WAF
- Inbulit Geography Restrictions
- We can even stop the unnecassry requests
- And Many ways to setup Cloudfront(CLI, CFT, Console)
- 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
- Able to interact with our inbulit authorizarion technique
- More number of edge locations
- Can be used with any service providers
- Our Organisation uses AWS extensively, so all the services cost of all the accounts are clubed together and we can get organisation discount on the cost, which in turn reduces the cost of Cloudfront as well
- Only using CloudFront in AWS and using other service providers for other services, then the cost could be noticeably high than its competitors' pricing
- Can be easily integrated with many services in and out of AWS
Have used the IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network for a very short time span like a couple of weeks. Both the setup as well as interactions with other services are a little complicated or not straightforward when compared to AWS.
Also, IBM cloud has less number of edge locations than AWS Cloudfront.
