"Cloud Front Great service from AWS for content delivery !!!"

This is amazing tool that integrates seamlessly with other AWS services like S3, EC2, and Lambda and easy to configure in few steps. Amazing part which i use and like is hosting the static pages & content from S3. Its more reliable & efficient . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
