This shifts the authorization boundary. The application server no longer serves the bytes of the protected file (be it a video, a PDF, or a proprietary dataset); it merely grants a time-limited "passport" (the signed URL) that allows CloudFront to serve the file. This offloads the bandwidth burden from the .NET server entirely, allowing the compute resources to focus on business logic rather than I/O streaming.

Restricts access to backend data sources (like Amazon S3 buckets), ensuring files are only accessible via the authorized CloudFront proxy. 🌐 Common Use Cases Amazon CloudFront is a web service designed to
