AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01)- Hands-On Labs - Create a CloudFront Distribution

The video tutorial covers setting up a Cloudfront distribution in AWS, starting with an S3 bucket as the origin. It explains the configuration of Cloudfront settings, including viewer protocol policies, smooth streaming, and security options like signed URLs. The tutorial also introduces AWS Lambda and Lambda@Edge, highlighting their use in running code in response to events and improving application performance. The video concludes with a brief mention of the API Gateway, setting the stage for the next lesson.

What is the primary purpose of setting up an S3 bucket as an origin for a CloudFront distribution?

• To store user credentials

• To host a website

• To serve content through edge locations

• To manage AWS accounts

When creating a CloudFront distribution, what is the first step in the configuration process?

• Setting up smooth streaming

• Enabling logging

• Identifying the origin server

• Choosing the pricing model

Which protocol policy can be enforced to ensure secure content delivery in CloudFront?

• HTTP only

• HTTPS only

• FTP

• SMTP

What feature allows CloudFront to restrict access to content using signed URLs?

• Origin access identity

• Signed cookies

• Lambda@Edge

• Smooth streaming

How does CloudFront improve performance when accessing large objects?

• By compressing data

• By reducing the file size

• By using a faster internet connection

• By caching content at edge locations

What is AWS Lambda primarily used for?

• Running code without managing servers

• Hosting static websites

• Storing large datasets

• Managing user accounts

Which AWS service allows you to run code closer to users to reduce latency?

• AWS S3

• AWS EC2

• Lambda@Edge

• AWS RDS

What is a key benefit of using Lambda@Edge with CloudFront?

• Lower cost

• Reduced latency

• Improved security

• Increased storage capacity

In the context of CloudFront, what is a viewer request?

• A request to change pricing models

• A request from the origin server

• A request from a user to CloudFront

• A request to update DNS settings

What is the main advantage of using a serverless architecture with Lambda and CloudFront?

• Limited functionality

• Increased complexity

• Higher maintenance costs

• Scalability and cost efficiency
