What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

Tested from Syria: using CloudFront requires an AWS account, and account sign-up failed with a Website Temporarily Unavailable error, so the service could not be used. Access with an existing account was not tested.

Landing pageWorks

Tested from Syria on a desktop browser: the Amazon CloudFront product page on aws.amazon.com loaded normally, with its Get started button available.

Sign-upFails

Tested from Syria on a desktop browser: pressing Get started with CloudFront opened the AWS account sign-up page, which showed a Website Temporarily Unavailable error instead of the registration form, so no account could be created.
