| Support for CloudFront multi-origin distributions |
Support has been added to AWS CloudFormation for creating CloudFront multi-origin distributions.
The following new topics have been added:
-
CloudFront CacheBehavior Type
A new type that describes how CloudFront caches requests that match a pattern.
CacheBehaviors are specified in a list to the CloudFront
DistributionConfig property.
-
CloudFront DefaultCacheBehavior Type
A new type that describes how CloudFront caches requests that don't match the patterns
provided in the list of CacheBehaviors for a DistributionConfig, or
when no CacheBehaviors are provided. The DefaultCacheBehavior is
provided in a list to the CloudFront DistributionConfig property.
-
CloudFront ForwardedValues Type
A new type that specifies whether CloudFront will forward query strings to the origin
specified in a CacheBehavior or DefaultCacheBehavior. It is an
embedded property used by both of these types.
-
CloudFront Origin Type
A new type that is provided as a member of a list to the CloudFront
DistributionConfig property type. This type contains the properties
S3Origin and CustomOrigin that, previously, were direct properties
of DistributionConfig.
Additionally, the following topics have been updated:
-
Amazon CloudFront Template Snippets
Added a new template snippet that demonstrates how to add multi-origin support to a
CloudFront distribution.
-
AWS::CloudFront::Distribution
CloudFront distributions now support multiple origins through the
DistributionConfig property of AWS::CloudFront::Distribution.
-
CloudFront CustomOrigin Type
The DNSName property of CustomOrigin has been removed, since it has
been replaced by the DomainName property in the CloudFront Origin
type.
-
CloudFront DistributionConfig Type
DistributionConfig has a new set of properties. Most notably, the S3Origin and
CustomOrigin properties are now members of a new Origin type.
DistributionConfig now takes a list of Origin types.
Additionally, the CNAMEs property is now known as Aliases,
TrustedSigners has been moved to the CacheBehavior and
DefaultCacheBehavior types, and RequiredProtocols has been
removed.
-
CloudFront Logging Type
The CloudFront Logging type has been updated with more detail about its use and
pointers to template examples.
-
CloudFront S3Origin Type
The DNSName property of S3Origin has been removed, since it has
been replaced by the DomainName property in the CloudFront Origin
type.
