Benchmarking AWS Cloudfront [closed]

Question

Has anyone benchmarked the effect of using AWS/Cloudfront as a CDN on response times?

Answer 1

Okay. Here is for you quick reference, by simply requesting the S3, Cloud front and my own hosting server. I get this result.

This client is in Malaysia.

2. S3 East Region 810ms.
3. CloudFront miss from CloudFront 1.61s
4. CloudFront hit from CloudFront 83ms
5. Own Hosting server in Hong Kong 4.72s
