### CloudFront Alternatives and Lock-in
- 🚪CDNs are [a highly fragmented market](https://www.datanyze.com/market-share/cdn/). CloudFront has grown to be a leader, but many alternatives that might better suit specific needs.
### CloudFront Tips
- 🐥**IPv6** is [now supported](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/10/ipv6-support-for-cloudfront-waf-and-s3-transfer-acceleration/)!
- 🐥**HTTP/2** is [now supported](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/09/amazon-cloudfront-now-supports-http2/)! Clients [must support TLS 1.2 and SNI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-web-values-specify.html#DownloadDistValuesSupportedHTTPVersions).
- While the most common use is for users to browse and download content (GET or HEAD methods) requests, CloudFront also supports ([since 2013](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-cloudfront-content-uploads-post-put-other-methods/)) uploaded data (POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, and PATCH).
- You must enable this by specifying the [allowed HTTP methods](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-web-values-specify.html#DownloadDistValuesAllowedHTTPMethods) when you create the distribution.
