What happens when a requested file is not available in the nearest cloudfront edge location?

Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

When a requested file is not in the nearest CloudFront edge location, CloudFront fetches it from the origin, caches it, and serves it to the user. Edge locations check if cached content is up-to-date using cache control headers and expiration settings. Manual invalidation can also be used to remove outdated content, ensuring users receive the latest version while optimizing performance for future requests.
