CloudFront delivery methods / distribution types

When you use CloudFront you create a distribution – that requires you first select a delivery method.  Either:

  • Web distribution

or

  • Real-Time Messaging Protocol
Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.  Macromedia is now owned by Adobe.
When creating a distribution – default TTL should be set to the average amount of time that an object is refreshed.  If pictures change daily, you don’t want a weekly default TTL.
