Case Studies

Htrip
Htrip is a top data service provider for hotels. They deployed Amazon CloudFront to improve services for millions of IoT terminals and provides users with a rich multimedia transmission experience. Their platform manages hotel TV terminals, which requires OTA installation, system updates, advertising and short videos in TV. While improving the experience of tens of thousands of hotel guests, the actual use cost has been reduced to one tenth of the original.
iVX
iVX is the world's first universal zero-code development platform. Its versatility is reflected in supporting application development in all scenarios and systems, including OA systems, e-commerce platforms, big data applications, IM applications, websites, games, etc. Developers doesn’t need to write a line of code to efficiently develop high-quality applications. iVX was looking for a CDN for improving their business accessibility and stability. iVX adopted CloudFront because it’s helping reducing latency, improving security, and accelerating developers’ access to their website content. In addition to achieving performance goal, iVX also saw reduced total cost by leveraging CloudFront.

Use Cases

Static Asset Caching
Amazon CloudFront, a content delivery network (CDN), can speed up the delivery of your static content (that is, images, style sheets, JavaScript, and so on) to your viewers. CloudFront offers a cache to improve latency and lower the load on your origin servers. Caching static content gives you the performance and scale that you need to give viewers a fast and reliable experience when visiting your website.
Dynamic Content and API Acceleration

Amazon CloudFront can be used to secure and accelerate your API calls. CloudFront supports proxy methods (POST, PUT, OPTIONS, DELETE, and PATCH). With CloudFront, TLS connections with clients terminate at a nearby edge location, then CloudFront uses optimized Amazon Web Services network paths to securely reach your API servers.

Software Distribution

Amazon CloudFront scales automatically as globally-distributed clients download software updates. You can make your software available right at the edge where your users are, via the content delivery network. The CDN's high data transfer rates speed up the delivery of your binaries, improving customer experience while lowering your costs.

Security
CloudFront integrates seamlessly with Amazon Shield Standard for Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation. In addition, CloudFront negotiates TLS connections with the highest security ciphers. You can also use our advanced feature like Field-Level Encryption, to protect the most sensitive data throughout your enterprise, so the information can only be viewed by certain components and services in your application stack. CloudFront also integrates with Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access.
Live and On-demand Video Streaming
The Amazon CloudFront CDN offers multiple options for streaming your media – both pre-recorded files and live events – at sustained, high throughput required for 4K delivery to global viewers. For on-demand streaming, you can use CloudFront for multi-bitrate adaptive streaming in Microsoft Smooth, HLS, HDS, or MPEG-DASH formats to any device. To broadcast a live stream, you can use CloudFront to cache the media fragments at the edge and collapse multiple requests for the manifest file to reduce the load to your origin.
