Explain the concept of "origin shield" in CloudFront and how it can enhance caching efficiency.

Question

Shruthi J · Accepted Answer

It is an extra caching layer that helps reduce the number of times cloudfront fetches content from the origin server. When a user requests content, cloudfront checks its cache. If the content is not in the edge cache, it first checks the origin shield. If origin shield has it, the request is served quickly. If not, only then does cloudfront go to the original server. Benefits-It reduces load on the origin server, speeds up content delivery, improves performance & saves costs.
