Amazon CloudFront announces cross-account support for VPC origins

Amazon CloudFront Cross-Account VPC Origins

Amazon CloudFront now supports cross-account access to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, allowing customers to securely access VPC origins in different AWS accounts from their CloudFront distributions. This feature enables customers to leverage the security benefits of VPC origins while maintaining their existing multi-account architecture.

What to do

• Use AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) to allow CloudFront access to origins in private VPCs in different AWS accounts.
• Streamline security management and reduce operational complexity by using CloudFront as the single front door for applications.
• Visit CloudFront VPC origins for implementation details and best practices.
