What is CloudFront?

CloudFront is a computer delivery network which consists of distributed servers that delivers web pages and web content to a user based on the geographic locations of a user.

For an AWS interview question asking about CloudFront, you could answer as follows:

“Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It helps deliver content, including webpages, videos, applications, and APIs, to users with low latency and high transfer speeds. CloudFront caches content at edge locations around the world, reducing the distance between users and content servers, which improves performance. It also helps offload traffic from origin servers, thus reducing the load on infrastructure. CloudFront integrates seamlessly with other AWS services and offers features like SSL/TLS encryption, custom domain support, access control, and real-time analytics.”
