Working with Distributions

A CloudFront distribution identifies the files that you want CloudFront to distribute through its edge locations and controls a variety of details about how you want CloudFront to distribute the files. When you create a distribution, you specify these details, for example, where you want CloudFront to get the files that it distributes to edge locations—an Amazon S3 bucket or a web server—whether the files are available to everyone who has the URL or access is restricted, and whether you want CloudFront to create access logs.
