Q

What should AWS edge locations be used for?

A
  1. Delivering content closer to users.
    Edge locations are used to host the content delivery network (CDN) service Amazon CloudFront, which gives you the ability to cache frequently accessed data closer to end users. This can reduce latency in data retrieval times for end users all over the world.
  2. Reducing the load on Amazon EC2 based web servers
    When data is cached to an edge location and an end user requests data, the request is first routed to the edge location. If the data is found there, it’s returned to the end user and the request never reaches the back-end server.
