Introducing CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Origins: Shield your web applications from public internet

AWS has introduced CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Origins, a new feature that enhances web application security by allowing content delivery from private VPC subnets without public internet exposure.

• Enables hosting applications in private VPC subnets with CloudFront as the only entry point
• Eliminates the need to expose applications on public internet
• Reduces attack surface and improves security posture
• Provides seamless integration with existing or new CloudFront distributions
• Leverages AWS Backbone Network for optimized performance and low latency

The feature allows for easy migration of existing applications to private origins, with a step-by-step process that includes creating VPC origins, testing in a staging environment, and promoting to production.
