Episode 52: Edge Locations & CloudFront Basics

30 Aug 2025

Description

In this episode, we dive into AWS Edge Locations and Amazon CloudFront, AWS’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. Edge Locations are physical locations where AWS caches copies of your content closer to end-users to improve latency and reduce the load on your origin servers. CloudFront integrates with AWS services like S3, EC2, and Lambda, allowing you to distribute content globally with low latency, high transfer speeds, and secure delivery.We’ll explain how CloudFront works and how you can configure it to serve static and dynamic content, stream media, and protect your web applications from threats like DDoS attacks. CloudFront also provides built-in integration with AWS Shield for DDoS protection and AWS WAF for application-level security. By leveraging Edge Locations and CloudFront, you can deliver content to users quickly and securely, no matter where they are. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to use CloudFront to optimize content delivery and improve user experience on your AWS-powered applications. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, your trusted resource for expert-driven cybersecurity education.
