Amazon is planning on releasing a new service for content delivery, which is still in the making and should be ready by the end of the year. According to their announcement, the service will offer a high performance way of distributing content to customers all over the world.

The content delivery service is intended to meet the following goals: allow developers and businesses to get started easily, with no dollar or volume commitments, in a pay-as-you-go service; be a simple and easy to use service; work seamlessly with Amazon S3; and have a global presence, using edge locations on three continents for the best delivery to the most appropriate location.

According to Amazon, clients will start by storing their content in an Amazon S3 bucket and then making the content as publicly readable; afterwards, they’ll need to make an API call to register the bucket, which will provide them with a domain name that they’ll use to refer to their content in their web page or application.

The new service is still in its beta testing, and although it is much similar to the Simple Storage System that Amazon customers now have, the new one promises better performance, with low latency and high data transfer rates that will serve customers across America, Europe and Asia.

With still no information on the final name of the service or the pricing, Amazon promises it will be an easy-to-use service, with no contract complications and fit to serve the wide base of Amazon customers.
