Reply To: Set 2 – Question of uploading high-resolution images of their artworks

[Kenneth-Samonte-Tutorials-Dojo]

Hi paulv8,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this question.

I understand that CloudFront supports content uploads Via POST, PUT, other HTTP Methods. We will review the answer and update the explanation accordingly to reflect this detail.

However, I still think uploading very large files natively via a CloudFront endpoint is not recommended. There is a limited connection timeout to the origin (60 seconds). If uploads will take a few minutes because of the very large files, the connection might get terminated.

If you want to optimize performance when uploading large files to Amazon S3, it is recommended to use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration which can provide fast and secure transfers over long distances between your client and Amazon S3. Transfer Acceleration uses Amazon CloudFront’s globally distributed edge locations.

As stated on this link, S3 Transfer Acceleration will use CloudFront’s edge locations for the uploads. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/s3-upload-large-files/

Hope this helps.
