Which AWS service can speed up content delivery for a global customer base?

CloudFront
S3
OpsWorks
CodeDeploy

The correct answer is: CloudFront

CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) service offered by AWS that significantly enhances the speed at which content is delivered to users around the globe. By using a global network of edge locations, CloudFront caches copies of the content closer to users, minimizing latency and reducing the time it takes to load web pages or stream media. When a user requests content, CloudFront routes the request to the nearest edge location, ensuring faster delivery. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require low latency, such as websites, APIs, or video streaming services. In contrast, while S3 is used for storing and managing data, it does not inherently provide the same speed optimization for global content delivery as CloudFront does. OpsWorks is a configuration management service that helps users manage applications and their deployments, while CodeDeploy focuses on automating application deployments rather than content delivery. Thus, CloudFront is specifically designed for improving the performance and speed of content delivery to a worldwide audience.
