Amazon CloudFront has poor bandwidth in China. Any suggestions?

Question

Hi, I am using Amazon CloudFront (files on S3) for my SaaS application, and I suffer from slow connections in China. I did not find too much information on this issue, has anyone encountered such problems?

I can contact ChinaCache to use them for CDN in China, but they have not yet answered.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Don't just stick to one CDN.
Also contact CDNetworks.

Check the CDN section at the bottom of the page.

Answer 2

Almost certainly the problem is GFW, gov throttles / blocks / interferes with most of the services that, in his opinion, compete with the Chinese business, because the quality gap is usually quite large, and the Chinese business will fight for competition.

If you go with a local CDN, remember that data protection is not great, and if you use SAAS, customers may be unhappy with the storage of their data on Chinese servers (depending on the nature of your application, of course)

Answer 3

AWS CloudFront is now available in China, but it has special requirements.

To start using CloudFront in China, customers must configure the CloudFront distribution using the AWS Management Console or API in China, and obtain a valid ICP (Internet Content Provider) record.
