create_cloud_front_origin_access_identity#

CloudFront.Client.create_cloud_front_origin_access_identity(**kwargs)#

Creates a new origin access identity. If you’re using Amazon S3 for your origin, you can use an origin access identity to require users to access your content using a CloudFront URL instead of the Amazon S3 URL. For more information about how to use origin access identities, see Serving Private Content through CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

Request Syntax

response = client.create_cloud_front_origin_access_identity(
    CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig={
        'CallerReference': 'string',
        'Comment': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters:

CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig (dict) –

[REQUIRED]

The current configuration information for the identity.

  • CallerReference (string) – [REQUIRED]

    A unique value (for example, a date-time stamp) that ensures that the request can’t be replayed.

    If the value of CallerReference is new (regardless of the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig object), a new origin access identity is created.

    If the CallerReference is a value already sent in a previous identity request, and the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is identical to the original request (ignoring white space), the response includes the same information returned to the original request.

    If the CallerReference is a value you already sent in a previous request to create an identity, but the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is different from the original request, CloudFront returns a CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityAlreadyExists error.

  • Comment (string) – [REQUIRED]

    A comment to describe the origin access identity. The comment cannot be longer than 128 characters.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
