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.”

TC: “Amazon getting into the CDN business seems like the ideal move for a company that’s trying to provide storage and on-demand computing services already. And considering its size makes it easier for it to adapt its business model to satisfy smaller businesses and those that are less likely to want to enter into long-term agreements, Amazon could quite easily push its competitors aside and cement itself as the leader in the market.”

NYT: “Current Amazon customers can accomplish much the same via the existing Simple Storage Service or S3. The new service, Amazon says, will make it easier for customers to distribute their files to a diverse set of data centers, improving performance. ‘This makes sense for popular content that may be accessed many times,’ said Adam Selipsky, a vice president with Amazon Web Services.”

Understanding Amazon’s AWS
Carr: “Building an efficient cloud-computing infrastructure does not represent an added expense for [Amazon]”; http://is.gd/oFL
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.”
