RWW: “CloudFront appears to have answered concerns about both cost and reliability for smaller organizations. The service leverages the same Amazon infrastructure that has made S3 such a popular solution – with eight edge locations in the US alone – and the pricing seems to fall in line with the affordable S3 offering, as well. … To take advantage of the new service, Amazon users can save their objects to an S3 ‘bucket’ and then register that bucket with CloudFront. That makes those objects accessible via a simple API call.”

TR: “Amazon has become a major player in cloud computing in recent years. Many Web startups have come to rely on its pay-as-you-go hosting and computing services rather than investing in costly and complex infrastructure of their own. The newest offering from Amazon Web Services, called Cloudfront, may provide insight into Amazon’s long-term business model. This new product offers companies that are already hooked on Amazon storage and processing the ability to distribute their content and thus make themselves more stable and reliable.”
