Amazon CloudFront now in Public Beta
I just received an email stating that amazon CloudFront is available for public beta:
Amazon CloudFront
For people using lots of video this could be quite useful.
As with S3, I will wait for someone one to come out with a simple video explaining step by step how to use it. If you already have an S3 account, sign up is simple - just a confirmation screen with the S3 billing info.

We are excited to release today the public beta of Amazon CloudFront -- you can start delivering content through the service right now. Getting started is easy: all you need to do is store your objects in Amazon S3 (make sure they are publicly readable), then, make a simple API call to register your bucket with CloudFront. This API call will return a new domain name for you to include in your web pages or application. When clients request an object using this domain name, they will automatically be routed to the nearest edge location used by Amazon CloudFront for fast delivery of your content. No negotiations, no upfront fees, and no volume commitments. It's that simple. |
