Devlog #4: Implementación Amazon S3 + CloudFront
Guía para la gestión de cursos
During the last month, we have been working to incorporate S3 and CloudFront services from Amazon Web Services to improve the performance of Foxize Cloud.
Thanks to this new implementation, we have managed to prepare the platform to be more flexible and scalable based on future needs. At Foxize Cloud we work every day to keep up to date and so that all our clients can benefit from these improvements.
S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a repository where you can save all the static content generated for our website and for the client's platforms, that is, materials such as images or css-type code scripts.
CloudFront is the service that allows you to upload the S3 repository in the cloud. Its advantage is that it has a network of servers that provides copies of this content around the world. This way, if a person from the United States accesses Foxize Cloud, the page will not have to connect to the server in Spain to upload the images, but will do so from the American Amazon CloudFront server.
Before implementation, all these contents were stored on a standard local server where they were accessed from anywhere in the world through the internet. This could cause slow loading of pages accessed from far away from the server.

With S3 and CloudFront all content is in the cloud, making it more accessible, faster, and more scalable. This way, we have been able to improve the overall performance of Foxize Cloud. Surely the people of Spain do not notice the change, but those people who access from other countries will find that the pages load much faster.
If you want to know in detail the technical operation of S3 + CloudFront, we recommend this post from Amazon.
