Amazon CloudFront announces WebSocket support for VPC Origins
AI Impact Summary
Amazon CloudFront has expanded its VPC origin support to include WebSockets, allowing real-time applications to be hosted entirely within private subnets. This eliminates the previous requirement of public subnets and complex access control configurations, simplifying architecture and reducing operational overhead. The new feature provides built-in DDoS protection and acts as a single entry point for both HTTP and WebSockets traffic, improving security and manageability.
