AWS re:Invent 2020: Amazon CloudFront fundamentals: Features, benefits, and what’s new

This session reviews features, benefits, and common uses for Amazon CloudFront, plus features that even long-time CloudFront users may not know. It covers cache key policies, TLS 1.3, real-time log telemetry to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Brotli compression, rootless trusted signers, zero rating, origin shield and dynamic content placement, and custom caching rules (depending on the content type). You also learn about determining what content gets cached at the edge and at the browser, using CloudFront to serve dynamic content, streamlining headers, handling cookies, improving cache-hit ratios, using read timeouts and keep-alive, and more. Finally, you get a look at performance optimizations that CloudFront does behind the scenes.

Is it correct to say that edge locations are the nearest availability zones to the user. For example since I'm in Zimbabwe , Capetown would be my edge point?

Do you have anything else on AWS CDN?

The problem with AWS event content is that they sound more like a marketing material than learning/training material.
