Amazon CloudFront now supports WebSocket, a TCP-based protocol facilitating long-lived bidirectional connections between clients and servers. This enhancement is detailed in AWS documentation for CloudFront distributions.
CloudFront can now handle WebSocket traffic directly, which matters for streaming applications and other services that depend on long-lived bidirectional connections. That adds a specific protocol option inside AWS’s CDN stack rather than forcing teams to route this traffic elsewhere. For streaming operators, the key signal is the documented CloudFront WebSocket support in AWS’s developer guide, which is the concrete evidence that the feature is available for distribution configurations.
