Amazon CloudFront introduces new origin response timeout controls

News



Amazon CloudFront has introduced new origin response timeout controls to improve performance and reliability:

  • Added a response completion timeout feature
  • Introduced custom response timeout values for Amazon S3 origins
  • Allows more granular control over origin response times
  • Supports configuring timeouts via CloudFront console, API, and AWS CloudFormation
  • Available in all CloudFront edge locations except AWS China (Beijing)

These enhancements enable users to better manage latency-sensitive workloads like media streaming and API calls by controlling cumulative response times and handling slow or unresponsive origins more effectively.
