Hey guys, Is it possible to reuse an existing CloudFront distribution? I have 2 separate CDK apps the first creates a CloudFront dist which also has a custom domain associated with it, serving a static website. I have another s3 website that I want behind the same CloudFront (and use the same custom domain name) and I want to associate a behavior (admin & admin/*) to it. I am able to achieve the desired result manually by updating Cloudfront from the console. Unable to do it from CDK.

Copy code

const distribution = cloudfront.Distribution.fromDistributionAttributes(this, name('cdn'), {
            distributionId: cdk.Fn.getAtt(name('distName'), 'app1devDistID'),
            domainName: siteDomain
        });

The above code works but this

distribution

object doesn't have any methods. only a few properties.

if www.zyx.com -> website1 (bucket1) if www.xyz.com/admin -> website2 (bucket2)

One hack is to create the bucket with the first CDK app and populate the contents with the second CDK app. But what if this was an API gateway resource instead of s3🤔

Try using

bucket1

as the

defaultBehavior

, and add

bucket2

as an

additionalBehavior

An example here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/aws-cloudfront-readme.html#multiple-behaviors--origins

The code roughly looks like this:

Copy code

new cloudfront.Distribution(this, 'myDist', {
  defaultBehavior: {
    origin: bucket1Origin,
    viewerProtocolPolicy: ViewerProtocolPolicy.REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS,
  },
  additionalBehaviors: {
    '/admin': {
      origin: bucket2Origin,
      viewerProtocolPolicy: ViewerProtocolPolicy.REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS,
    },
  },
});
