Amazon Web Services today launched support for dynamic content in Amazon CloudFront. The CloudFront aims to improve the performance, reliability and global reach of their website to deliver all their content, including the dynamic portions of their site that change for each end-user.

Amazon CloudFront works with dynamic applications running in Amazon EC2, without any custom coding or proprietary configurations, making the service simple to deploy and manage.

Previously, developers who wanted to improve the performance and reliability of their dynamic content had limited options, as the solutions offered by traditional CDNs are expensive, hard to configure and difficult to manage. This often requires custom code on their websites, and configuration can take days or weeks.

“With this release, we are continuing on the same path we started when we launched CloudFront: iterating based on customer feedback and making premium and innovative content delivery features that other CDNs sell at high prices much less expensive and much easier to use," said Tal Saraf, AWS's General Manager for Amazon CloudFront.

"In 2008, CloudFront showed customers that they didn't need to pay premium prices and sign long term contracts to get great performance and reliability for static content. In 2009, we did the same for video on demand, offering RTMP streaming at the same low prices we were already charging for static object delivery. In 2011, we did the same for live events. Now, with this release, customers can use CloudFront to accelerate their dynamic content, and again, customers don’t have to pay any more than our already low rates. No up-front fees, no requirement to make a long term commitment, no monthly platform fees, no need to hire expensive consultants to help with configuration, no more being over-charged by traditional CDNs that used to be the only ones who could provide this important feature for customers.”
