- Pattern 1 – Using CloudFront to cache and secure content when an Application Load Balancer is the origin
- Pattern 2 – Using CloudFront to cache and secure content when an S3 bucket is the origin
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, you will have a greater understanding of:
- Amazon CloudFront's role in performance and security
- Common CloudFront design patterns
Intended Audience
Anyone working with AWS Networking will benefit from this course, as well as those who are:
- Studying for the AWS Networking Specialty certification
- Studying for the AWS Solutions Architect certifications
If you want to increase your AWS knowledge, this course is for you.
