Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up the distribution of static and dynamic web content
(such as .html, .css, .js, and image files). CloudFront delivers content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations.

CloudFront Distribution Resource Information:

• Type of Resource: Generic monitorable resource
• Discovery type: AWS SDK discovery type
• Discovery profile selection: Resource can be discovered by “CloudFront” in the profiler
• ResourceTag: CLOUDFRONT
• Resource Unique Identification: cloudFrontId (front.id())
• Dependencies: CloudFront may depend on S3 buckets, EC2 instances, and other origins for content delivery

CloudFront Origin Resource Information:

• Type of Resource: Generic non-monitorable resource
• Discovery type: AWS SDK discovery type
• Discovery profile selection: Resource can be discovered by “AWS/Origin” in the profiler
• ResourceTag: CF_ORIGIN
• Resource Unique Identification: OriginId (awsOrigin.id())
• Dependencies: CloudFront Origin runs on CloudFront distributions and points to content sources

For example, when a user requests content that you’re serving with CloudFront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay). Edge locations help deliver content with the best possible performance.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
