Hands On AWS - Massively Scalable Image Hosting Using S3 and CloudFront - Part 2

In this episode, we cover the following topics:

We discuss the features and limitations of serving files directly from S3.
We then talk about how CloudFront can address many of S3's limitations. In particular, CloudFront is performant, inexpensive and allows us to use custom CNAMEs with TLS encryption.
How to create a secure CloudFront distribution for files hosted in S3.
What is OAI (Origin Access Identity), why we need it and how to set it up.
We show how you can configure your CloudFront distribution to use TLS and redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
We finish up by discussing "byte-range requests" and how to enable them for our image hosting solution.
