Module: cloudfront-cdn

Terraform Module that implements a CloudFront Distribution (CDN) for a custom origin (e.g. website) and ships logs to a bucket.

If you need to accelerate an S3 bucket, we suggest using terraform-aws-cloudfront-s3-cdn instead.

Usage​

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

module "cdn" {
  source = "cloudposse/cloudfront-cdn/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"
  namespace          = "eg"
  stage              = "prod"
  name               = "app"
  aliases            = ["www.example.net"]
  origin_domain_name = "origin.example.com"
  parent_zone_name   = "example.net"
}
