AWS Dealing with latencies

Question

How does aws deal with latency issues given they have regions set all over the world. I mean I if I have data centre in US and I need to access my data from say Australia, wouldn't there be latency issues?

Hi, I hope this helps:

Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users. CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you're serving with CloudFront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance.
