💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing S3 because it stores data but does not deliver via edge locations.

Selecting EC2 or Lambda which are compute services, not content delivery.

CloudFront is the AWS service that uses edge locations to deliver content quickly to users.

Common Mistakes

Leaving out '.com' or '.amazonaws.com' in the domain name.

Using incomplete or incorrect domain formats.

The origin domain name must be the full S3 bucket endpoint, including '.s3.amazonaws.com'.

  'CachedMethods': ['[1]', '[2]']
}

Common Mistakes

Including POST or PUT which are not cached by default.

Mixing allowed and cached methods incorrectly.

GET and HEAD are the methods allowed and cached by default in CloudFront cache behaviors.

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a CloudFront distribution with a default root object and enabled logging.

AWS

distribution_config = {
  'DefaultRootObject': '[1]',
  'Logging': {
    'Bucket': '[2]',
    'Enabled': [3]
  }
}

CTrue

DFalse

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'False' for logging enabled disables logs.

Leaving the bucket name incomplete or incorrect.

Choosing a wrong default root object.

The default root object is usually 'index.html'. Logging requires specifying the S3 bucket and enabling it with True.
