About CloudFront

Over the past 30 days, PulsAPI has measured CloudFront uptime at 98.15%. Response times, incident history, and SLA tracking for CloudFront are available on the PulsAPI dashboard.

CloudFront Status FAQ

Is CloudFront down right now?

PulsAPI checks CloudFront every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official CloudFront status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

Is this the same as the AWS Health Dashboard for Amazon CloudFront?

No. Amazon CloudFront (also searched as AWS CloudFront or Amazon CloudFront) is a Amazon Web Services product, and the AWS Health Dashboard is AWS's own account of it. PulsAPI polls that feed every 60 seconds and keeps the history, so you can see how long an incident actually ran and what happened last time — detail the AWS Health Dashboard drops once an event closes.

What should I do if CloudFront is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until CloudFront recovers.

How do I check CloudFront uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks CloudFront uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 98.15%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for CloudFront.

How fast does PulsAPI detect CloudFront outages?

PulsAPI polls the official CloudFront status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual CloudFront components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 1 individual CloudFront component, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when CloudFront goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to CloudFront. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever CloudFront status changes.

How do I report an issue with CloudFront to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot CloudFront problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor CloudFront?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan is free forever and covers up to 5 monitored services with email alerts, so CloudFront plus four more costs nothing. Every new account also gets a 30-day Business trial — unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting — with no credit card.
