Amazon CloudFront vs CDNsun: What are the differences?
Amazon CloudFront: Content delivery with low latency and high data transfer speeds. Amazon CloudFront can be used to deliver your entire website, including dynamic, static, streaming, and interactive content using a global network of edge locations. Requests for your content are automatically routed to the nearest edge location, so content is delivered with the best possible performance; CDNsun: A content delivery network (CDN) provider that will speed up the delivery of web pages and other content to your customers. It’s not a shared web hosting provider, but an optional additional service to consider if your web host doesn’t already offer a CDN capability.
Amazon CloudFront and CDNsun can be categorized as "Content Delivery Network" tools.
Some of the features offered by Amazon CloudFront are:

- Simple- A single API call lets you get started distributing content from your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EC2 instance or other origin server through the Amazon CloudFront network.
- Designed for use with other Amazon Web Services Amazon CloudFront is designed for use with other Amazon Web Services, including Amazon S3, where you can durably store the definitive versions of your static files, and Amazon EC2, where you can run your application server for dynamically generated content.
