Amazon CloudFront streamlines CDN setup with smart defaults and automation
When creating a distribution, CloudFront now automatically applies optimized settings based on your specific origin type. For example, when serving static websites from Amazon S3, CloudFront automatically configures Origin Access Control to prevent direct bucket access, optimizes caching settings for improved performance, and enables recommended security settings - all without requiring you to understand the underlying technical details of these components.
This new onboarding experience makes it easier for you to leverage AWS' global edge network, reduce latency for your end users, and enhance the security posture of your applications. The new experience is available globally at no additional cost. To get started with the new CloudFront experience, visit the Amazon CloudFront console or check out our documentation.
