Cloud Front
The integration with CloudFront leveraged its global network of edge locations to function as a secure and scalable Content Delivery Network (CDN). This integration had several benefits:
Improved Performance:
The content will be cached closer to the users, which minimizes latency and delivers a seamless user experience. This proximity to users ensured that data did not have to travel long distances, thereby reducing delays and improving the speed of content delivery.
Enhanced Security:
By offloading traffic from EC2 instances, the system will be able to mitigate Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and safeguard sensitive data. This offloading process reduced the load on the servers, making them less likely to be overwhelmed by malicious traffic.
Streamlined Operations:
The use of automated features, such as auto-scaling and health checks, reduced the need for manual intervention and optimized resource utilization. These features allowed the system to automatically adjust to changes in demand and ensure the health of the system without human intervention.
Simplified and Automated SSL/TLS Certificate Management:
Thanks to the simplicity of the integration between the AWS Certificate Manager and CloudFront, it is possible to automatically renew the SSL/TLS certificates before they expire. The auto-renewal requires configuring the certificate validation via AWS Route 53.
Traffic Encryption:
CloudFront ensures the traffic’s encryption using the SSL/TLS certificate configured to secure data transmission, which protects the data from being intercepted or altered during transmission.
By implementing these measures, we aim to address the challenges faced by the customers, ensuring optimal performance, robust security, and efficient resource utilization. We believe that this strategy will significantly contribute to the success of customers operations.
