Which type of AWS distribution does Amazon CloudFront offer for streaming?

Web Distribution
RTMP Distribution
Static Distribution
Dynamic Distribution

The correct answer is: RTMP Distribution

Amazon CloudFront offers two main types of distributions: web distributions and RTMP distributions. For streaming media, specifically for content delivered using Adobe’s Flash Media Server, RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) distributions are used. This protocol enables the streaming of audio, video, and data over the Internet with low latency, making it suitable for live streaming applications. Choosing RTMP distribution is appropriate for scenarios where interactive streaming or video on demand with a lower latency requirement is essential. It’s important to note that while web distributions are suitable for serving static and dynamic content over HTTP or HTTPS, they do not support the RTMP protocol for streaming. This focus on RTMP for streaming makes it the correct option when considering specific needs for real-time, interactive media delivery over the internet.
