Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as
.html, .css, .php, and image files, to your users.
CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user
requests content that you're serving with CloudFront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest
latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance.
a) If the content is already in the edge location with the lowest latency, CloudFront delivers it immediately.
b) If the content is not in that edge location, CloudFront retrieves it from an Amazon S3 bucket or an HTTP server
(for example, a web server) that you have identified as the source for the definitive version of your content.

CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation gives developers and systems administrators an easy way to create and manage a
collection of related AWS resources, provision and update them in an orderly and predictable fashion
✓ Template
✓ is an architectural diagram
✓ a JSON or YAML-format, text-based file that describes all the AWS resources you need to deploy
to run your application
✓ Stack
✓ is the end result of that diagram, which is actually provisioned
✓ is the set of AWS resources that are created and managed as a single unit when CloudFormation
instantiates a template.
12. Mahesh TRMahesh TR
✓CloudFormation template can be used to set up the resources consistently and repeatedly over
and over across multiple regions
✓Resources can be updated, deleted and modified in a controlled and predictable way, in effect
applying version control to the infrastructure as done for software code
✓CloudFormation supports Chef & Puppet Integration, meaning that you can deploy and configure
right down the application layer
✓By default, automatic rollback on error feature is enabled, which will cause all the AWS resources
thatCloudFormation created successfully for a stack up to the point where an error occurred to be
deleted. However, charges would be applied for the resources the time they are up and running
