Lab Description:

(Describe the lab including the title, AWS service(s) used as part of the lab, technology and
process involved in completing the lab)

The title of this lab is: Introduction to Amazon CloudFront. To complete this lab, I had to log
into AWS Management Console and use S3 and CloudFront services.

Lab Format:

(Functionality and steps involved in completing the lab, what was the process you followed, did
you encounter any issues and what steps did you take to correct the problem.

For the first task I had to create a S3 bucket, upload an image to the bucket and set the
permission to Grant public read access to this object.
For the next task I had to create an Amazon CloudFront Web Distribution. When
creating the distribution, I got an error saying that the distribution couldn’t be created
com.amazonaws.SdkClientException: Unable to execute HTTP request: Connect to
cloudfront.amazonaws.com:443 [cloudfront.amazonaws.com/54.239.29.51] failed: connect timed out
I refreshed the browser and started again but after clicking create distribution again I
could see that the first one was deployed.

For the next task I had to create a link to my object by copying a html file given and edit
it with my created distribution domain name and the name of my uploaded object. At
the end when clicking the file I got my image in the browser.
For the last part I had to disable my distributions and delete them as well as deleting my
bucket.
Lab Outcome:

(What did the lab achieve, what was accomplished by the completing the lab)
In this lab I could how the Amazon CloudFront is being used. For that I have created an
Amazon S3 bucket, uploaded an image and then with CloudFront service I have created a
distribution that has used CloudFront domain name in the url to distribute my publiclu
accessible image.
