What is an aws edge location?
-
An Edge Location is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) endpoint for cloudfront. It enables you to cache files closer to the users physical location.
As with other types of caching, once the file is retrieved from a remote region, then next time the same file is accessed, Cloudfront does not need to got back to remote region, it just gets it from cache and sends it to the user, and this helps with performance.
See AWS Cloudfront page for more information: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/
