What we do with CloudFront
AWS awards the Service Delivery designation for Amazon CloudFront after reviewing our CloudFront customer projects. This is the work it covers.
Discounted CloudFront pricing
Buy CloudFront through CirrusHQ at a significant discount on the price of buying direct from AWS. We can bill it alongside the rest of your AWS usage, or set up an arrangement for CloudFront on its own if you prefer. Tell us about your traffic and we will tell you what it would cost.
Moving your content onto CloudFront
We put CloudFront in front of your websites, APIs, video and downloads, whether the origin is Amazon S3, a load balancer, Amazon EC2 or a server outside AWS. We plan the DNS switch to avoid downtime.
Security at the edge
We set up HTTPS-only delivery, origin access control so your Amazon S3 content can only be reached through CloudFront, and AWS WAF rules to block common attacks. AWS Shield Standard DDoS protection is included with every distribution.
Cache and performance tuning
We set cache policies, compression and origin settings so more requests are answered from the edge. Pages load faster and your origin does less work. Where you need logic at the edge, such as redirects or header changes, we use CloudFront Functions or Lambda@Edge.
Ongoing support and cost reviews
With CirrusHQ Managed Cloud we monitor your distributions and review your CloudFront costs with you, so spend stays in line as your traffic grows.
What is Amazon CloudFront?
Amazon CloudFront is the content delivery network (CDN) from AWS. It keeps copies of your content in edge locations around the world and serves each user from the one nearest to them, so pages, APIs and video load faster than they would from your origin alone.
It works with Amazon S3, Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon EC2, and with origins outside AWS over HTTP or HTTPS. It connects to AWS WAF for protection, Amazon Route 53 for DNS, and CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge for logic at the edge. Your existing resources stay as they are.
