Networking and Content Delivery for Free on AWS

Free offers and services you need to manage network traffic and content delivery network in the cloud.

Use cases

Elastic Load Balancing supports the load balancing capabilities critical for you to migrate to AWS. ELB is well positioned to load balance both traditional and cloud native applications with auto scaling capabilities.

Elastic Load Balancing adapts to the modern applications and their changing load without customer intervention, scaling out while still only charging for usage.

CloudFront can speed up the delivery of your websites, whether its static objects or dynamic content. The CDN offers a multi-tier cache by default that improves latency and lowers the load on origin servers.

CloudFront supports multiple streaming formats, including Microsoft Smooth, HLS, HDS, or MPEG-DASH. Integration with Elemental MediaStore offers low-latency streaming.
