My organization is a heavy user of AWS. As part of that, we also use CloudFront as our CDN for all our front end applications for static content and videos hosted on our websites.

It is also a highly secure CDN at the network and application level.

Well suited for the following scenarios:
- hosting static content for your websites.
- hosting videos and images to be shown on the website.
- integrating and managing custom SSL certificates.
- integrating with AWS WAF and Route 53.
Less suited to storing large files. You should use AWS S3.

Amazon CloudFront boosted the loading speed of landing page of our application by 10 times. I use Amazon cloud front to load static css, javascript and images on landing page of our application. It is being used across the whole organization to solve the problem of assets caching. Amazon CloudFront primarily speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content by delivering the the content to through worldwide edge locations. Amazon CloudFront delivers data from the nearest edge location that provides the lowest latency and thus provide high speed data transfer for best permanence. Amazon CloudFront is my best choice among other CDN as it provides increased reliability and availability of files because copies of files are held in multiple edge locations around the world.

Amazon CloudFront is best suited when there is a need of speed in serving static and dynanic web contents of a web application. If the content is already in that edge location, CloudFront delivers it immediately. If the content is not currently in that edge location, CloudFront retrieves it from an Amazon S3 bucket or an HTTP server. Amazon CloudFront is not appropriate in case users can tolerate some delays or servers are present near to the location of user. It also Integrates through the W3 Total Cache plugin. Amazon CloudFront Pricing based on bandwidth usage that's the best part of it.
