Before creating a CloudFront web distribution:
- Make sure your origin is available. Configure origin servers (S3/web server/load balancer) from which CloudFront gets your files for distribution.
- Upload files to the origin servers. Files, also known as objects, typically include web pages, images, and media files but can be anything that can be served over HTTP.
- Configure the S3 bucket for logging.
- Create a CNAME or alias record. Optionally, you can configure your CloudFront distribution to use a custom domain name.
- Upload your SSL certificate if you want to use a custom certificate.
- Optionally, you can configure your origin server to add headers to the files; the headers indicate how long you want the files to stay in the cache ...
