AWS just made life easier for SaaS providers, web platforms, and multi-brand companies with the release of Cloud Front SaaS Manager—a game-changing feature for managing content delivery across many websites at scale.

If you're tired of duplicating configurations, wrangling TLS certificates, and dealing with the complexity of multi-site delivery, this one’s for you. 👇

🧩 What Is Cloud Front SaaS Manager?

Cloud Front SaaS Manager is a new capability that lets you centrally manage content delivery, security, and certificates for multiple websites—all under one unified setup.

It’s ideal for:

  1. SaaS platforms with custom domains per customer (e.g.,customer1.yoursaas.com)
  2. CMS or web builders (like Wix or Shopify-style platforms)
  3. Companies with multiple branded websites

🤯 The Old Way (Before SaaS Manager)

Let’s say you run a web platform that hosts sites for small businesses. You might have sites like:

site1.myplatform.com  
site2.myplatform.com  
site3.myplatform.com

To deliver each site securely via Cloud Front, you’d typically:

  • Create individual Cloud Front distributions
  • Manage TLS certificates manually
  • Set up security rules, cache policies, logging, etc.
  • Repeat for each new customer/site 😵

This doesn't scale well as your platform grows.

✅ The New Way (With CloudFront SaaS Manager)

Cloud Front SaaS Manager brings a centralized, reusable configuration model so you can:

  • 🔁 Define shared configurations once (caching, TLS, security, logging)
  • 🚀 Automatically apply them across multiple sites
  • 🔒 Manage TLS certificates effortlessly using integrated AWS Certificate Manager
  • 📊 Gain visibility into all site delivery from a single pane

🧠 Think of it like:

“A Cloud Front blueprint you apply to as many sites as needed—with best practices built in.”

💡 Example Use Case

Let’s say you onboard a new customer who wants their site at myclient.yoursaas.com.

With Cloud Front SaaS Manager:

  • Register the domain (or subdomain) in your SaaS Manager config.
  • The tool automatically:
1. Provisions and attaches a TLS certificate
  2. Applies your default Cloud Front policies
  3. Links to your monitoring, logging, and DDoS protection
  • Done. You never had to touch manual Cloud Front setup. ⚡

🔐 Security & Performance Built In

  • Integrated with AWS Shield and AWS WAF
  • Automated TLS issuance & renewal
  • Follows CDN performance best practices by default
  • Cross-account support for growing org

🛠️ Why This Matters

Feature

📎 Final Thoughts

Cloud Front SaaS Manager simplifies the hardest parts of running a SaaS platform at scale:

  • No more copy-pasting config across dozens or hundreds of sites
  • No more managing individual certificates
  • No more slow on boarding

Whether you’re running 10 sites or 10,000, this tool is built to scale with you.
