Q

Steps of Route 53 and Amazon Cloud Front for content delivery

A
  1. A customer requests data from the application by going to AnyCompany’s website.
  2. Amazon Route 53 uses DNS resolution to identify AnyCompany.com’s corresponding IP address, 192.0.2.0. This information is sent back to the customer.
  3. he customer’s request is sent to the nearest edge location through Amazon CloudFront.
  4. Amazon CloudFront connects to the Application Load Balancer, which sends the incoming packet to an Amazon EC2 instance.
