CloudFront / Client / create_function

create_function#

CloudFront.Client.create_function(**kwargs)#

Creates a CloudFront function.

To create a function, you provide the function code and some configuration information about the function. The response contains an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the function.

When you create a function, it’s in the DEVELOPMENT stage. In this stage, you can test the function with TestFunction, and update it with UpdateFunction.

When you’re ready to use your function with a CloudFront distribution, use PublishFunction to copy the function from the DEVELOPMENT stage to LIVE. When it’s live, you can attach the function to a distribution’s cache behavior, using the function’s ARN.
