We’re pleased to announce the launch of Digital Private Cloud (VPC) Origins, a groundbreaking feature enabling content delivery from applications hosted within private subnets across our platform. With this straightforward solution, you can safeguard your internet presence, enabling the seamless management of online activities while ensuring robust security, global scalability, and optimal performance through CloudFront.
Organizations serving content from multiple sources, including and , can utilize Origin Entry Management as a secure solution to protect their origins, effectively making CloudFront the single entry point for their applications. Notwithstanding, achieving this proved more challenging when hosting applications that utilized load balancers or were deployed on multiple servers, as one had to develop a custom solution to replicate the same outcome. To guarantee uniqueness, you’ll employ a blend of tactics, encompassing firewall configurations, logical measures like header validation, and other methods to ensure the endpoint remains exclusive to CloudFront.
CloudFront VPC origins eliminates the need for undifferentiated effort, offering a managed solution to integrate CloudFront distributions with AWS resources such as VPCs, EC2 instances, or Elastic Load Balancers within your private subnets. This simplifies the process of configuring CloudFront as the sole entry point for these resources, streamlining operations while providing a budget-friendly option that also eliminates the need for public IP addresses, thereby enhancing overall efficiency.
CloudFront now offers VPC origins as a standard feature, providing a cost-effective and accessible solution for all AWS customers. You can configure and manage CloudFront distributions programmatically using AWS SDKs and APIs. Additionally, you can also use the AWS CLI to update your CloudFront distributions.
You’ve deployed a private software application behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB), ensuring secure and scalable access to your service. Can we configure a CloudFront distribution to seamlessly integrate with the existing Application Load Balancer (ALB), which is currently deployed within a non-public subnet, thereby ensuring a secure and efficient content delivery experience?
Navigate to the CloudFront console and select the “Create distribution” option from the newly added menu.
Developing a completely fresh VPC origin requires minimal effort. Please choose between two options: You’ll be able to search for available sources that are hosted in private subnets or enter them directly. Here is the rewritten text: You select the source that you really desire, choose a pleasing title on your virtual private cloud (VPC) origin alongside some security options, and then confirm. At launch, ensure your VPC origin resource is located within the same AWS account as your CloudFront distribution; support for cross-account sources will be introduced shortly.
Upon successful completion of the course, your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) instance will be provisioned and ready for deployment. You may test its standing on the webpage?
With just a few clicks, we’ve successfully set up a CloudFront distribution to deliver content directly from a resource hosted on a private subnet, streamlining the process. After creating a VPC origin, navigate to your Distribution window and add it by selecting the ARN from the dropdown or copying and pasting it manually.
While acknowledging the importance of layered security, it is crucial to implement measures such as using services like to safeguard against internet exploits, or for managed DDoS protection, and other solutions to achieve comprehensive safety.
CloudFront now offers VPC Origins, empowering organisations to deploy secure and high-performance applications by allowing CloudFront distributions to directly serve content from privately hosted sources within their own subnets. Does this ensure the integrity and transparency of publicly accessible software while guaranteeing its security?
