  }

  origin = {

        origin_protocol_policy = "match-viewer"
        origin_ssl_protocols   = ["TLSv1", "TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"]
      }
    }

    s3_one = {
      domain_name = "my-s3-bycket.s3.amazonaws.com"
      s3_origin_config = {
        origin_access_identity = "s3_bucket_one"
      }
    }
  }

  default_cache_behavior = {
    target_origin_id           = "something"
    viewer_protocol_policy     = "allow-all"

    allowed_methods = ["GET", "HEAD", "OPTIONS"]
    cached_methods  = ["GET", "HEAD"]
    compress        = true
    query_string    = true
  }

  ordered_cache_behavior = [
    {
      path_pattern           = "/static/*"
      target_origin_id       = "s3_one"

      query_string    = true
    }
  ]

  viewer_certificate = {
    acm_certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:135367859851:certificate/1032b155-22da-4ae0-9f69-e206f825458b"
    ssl_support_method  = "sni-only"
  }
}

Examples

• Complete - Complete example which creates AWS CloudFront distribution and integrates it with other terraform-aws-modules to create additional resources: S3 buckets, Lambda Functions, CloudFront Functions, ACM Certificate, Route53 Records.

Notes

• Error: updating CloudFront Distribution (ETXXXXXXXXXXXX): InvalidArgument: The parameter ForwardedValues cannot be used when a cache policy is associated to the cache behavior.
  • When defining a behavior in ordered_cache_behavior and default_cache_behavior with a cache policy, you must specify use_forwarded_values = false.

ordered_cache_behavior = [{
  path_pattern           = "/my/path"
  target_origin_id       = "my-origin"
  viewer_protocol_policy = "https-only"
  allowed_methods        = ["GET", "HEAD"]
  use_forwarded_values   = false

  # AllViewerAndCloudFrontHeaders-2022-06
  origin_request_policy_id = "33f36d7e-f396-46d9-90e0-52428a34d9dc"
  # CachingDisabled
  cache_policy_id          = "4135ea2d-6df8-44a3-9df3-4b5a84be39ad"
}]
