Amazon CloudFront integrates with VPC IPAM to support BYOIP

Amazon CloudFront BYOIP Feature

Amazon CloudFront now supports bringing your own IP addresses (BYOIP) for Anycast Static IPs via VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM). This capability enables network administrators to use their own public IPv4 address pools with CloudFront distributions, simplifying IP address management across AWS's global infrastructure.

CloudFront typically uses rotating IP addresses to serve traffic. CloudFront Anycast Static IPs enables customers to provide a dedicated list of IP addresses to partners and customers, enhancing security and simplifying network management. Previously, customers implementing Anycast Static IPs received AWS-provided static IP addresses for their workloads. With IPAM's unified interface, customers can now create dedicated IP address pools using BYOIP and assign them to CloudFront Anycast Static IP lists. Customers do not need to change the existing IP address space for their applications when they migrate to CloudFront, thus maintaining existing allow-lists and branding.

What to do

• Review the BYOIP CloudFront documentation for setup instructions.
• Check the Amazon VPC Pricing Page for pricing details.
