What is edge location in AWS?

An edge location is a CloudFront point of presence that caches content close to users. It is not a Region or an Availability Zone.

An edge location is the nearest point to the consumer(user) who is consuming the AWS service. In these locations, the server is not present but a small setup is there.

Unlike Availability Zones which are physical locations where AWS servers lies, an Edge location is basically a small setup in different locations. AWS Edge location is the place where the data is cached to reduce the latency to the end-users.
