What is the goal of Amazon CloudFront?

The goal of Amazon CloudFront is to reduce latency in content delivery. CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches copies of your content at various edge locations around the world. This strategic placement of edge servers allows for faster delivery of content to users by serving data from the nearest location, rather than from a central server that could be located far away. By minimizing the physical distance between the server and the user, CloudFront enhances the loading speed of websites, videos, and other content, thereby improving the overall user experience. This capability makes CloudFront especially valuable for applications that demand quick access to data, as well as for efficient multimedia streaming and global distribution of content.
