CloudFront and Route 53 Global Application Delivery
Deploy a globally distributed web application using CloudFront CDN with S3 origin, OAC security, caching behavior rules, security headers, and CloudWatch monitoring — the core SAP-C02 global content delivery pattern: cache, secure, monitor, scale.
Lab Overview
Build an end-to-end global content delivery architecture following AWS best practices. Create an S3 origin with CloudFront Origin Access Control (OAC) for private bucket access, configure tiered caching behavior with path-based routing, implement security header policies, and set up comprehensive CloudWatch monitoring. Validate global delivery with load testing and caching analysis — the content delivery pattern essential for SAP-C02 Domain 1 (Design Resilient Architectures) and Domain 3 (Design Secure Architectures).
