Optimizing Content Delivery with CloudFront & Using Custom Domains Route 53 | AWS in Action
When serving a website to your customers, you typically want to use a custom domain (instead of some auto-generated AWS-picked domain). Route 53 allows you to register and assign your own domains. You can easily use it with fixed IPs or various AWS services, as you’ll see in this video.
For optimizing content delivery, CloudFront can be used to cache some content at the edge (i.e., via edge locations).
In this video, a website served by a server running on EC2 will use both services for optimal delivery.
