Every website in the online world is normally equipped with plenty of static content as well as dynamic ones. The static content comes in the forms of style sheets or still images while the you can find the dynamic content in forms of the elements in the website that are personalized to every visitor. Other than that, a website may also include some other forms that requires the viewers to register like a space for your comments.

Not only that Amazon CloudFront will be a reliable option when you need to deliver your whole website together with its dynamic and static contents, the Amazon service will have not trouble when it comes to delivering the streaming or other interactive content using a global network as well.
With a single CloudFront distribution, you can deliver your entire website and all its contents. There is no need for you to come up with a new domain name as Amazon CloudFront allows you to use a single domain name for the whole site. You should not separate the static contents from the dynamic ones either. Moreover, the origin servers can still be used for various types of contents on the site. The users of Amazon CloudFront will be provided with granular control that you can use to caching properties on different URLs on the site as well as configure all the origin servers.
Beside whole site delivery, Amazon CloudFront also offer more common uses. This is optimized with other web services like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Route 53, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing and Amazon S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service).
