Overview
In this workshop, we will use Amazon CloudFront to deliver video content to user devices using the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) protocol.

Architecture Description
The architecture of the workshop is built using three AWS services: Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Simple Storage Service and Amazon Elastic Transcoder:
