aws_cloudfront_distribution

Creates an Amazon CloudFront web distribution.

For information about CloudFront distributions, see the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide. For specific information about creating CloudFront web distributions, see the POST Distribution page in the Amazon CloudFront API Reference.

~> NOTE: CloudFront distributions take about 15 minutes to a deployed state after creation or modification. During this time, deletes to resources will be blocked. If you need to delete a distribution that is enabled and you do not want to wait, you need to use the retain_on_delete flag.

Example Usage

The following example below creates a CloudFront distribution with an S3 origin.

resource "aws_cloudfront_distribution" "s3_distribution" {
  origin {
    domain_name = "mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com"
    origin_id   = "myS3Origin"

    s3_origin_config {
      origin_access_identity = "origin-access-identity/cloudfront/ABCDEFG1234567"
    }
  }

  enabled             = true
  comment             = "Some comment"
  default_root_object = "index.html"

  logging_config {
    include_cookies = false
    bucket          = "mylogs.s3.amazonaws.com"
    prefix          = "myprefix"
  }

  aliases = ["mysite.example.com", "yoursite.example.com"]

  default_cache_behavior {
    allowed_methods  = ["DELETE", "GET", "HEAD", "OPTIONS", "PATCH", "POST", "PUT"]
    cached_methods   = ["GET", "HEAD"]
    target_origin_id = "myS3Origin"

    forwarded_values {
      query_string = false

      cookies {
        forward = "none"
      }
    }

    viewer_protocol_policy = "allow-all"
    min_ttl                = 0
    default_ttl            = 3600
    max_ttl                = 86400
  }

  price_class = "PriceClass_200"

  restrictions {
    geo_restriction {
      restriction_type = "whitelist"
      locations        = ["US", "CA", "GB", "DE"]
    }
  }

  viewer_certificate {
    cloudfront_default_certificate = true
  }
}
