Remediation

To remediate this misconfiguration, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your AWS console and navigate to the CloudFront service.

  2. Click the “Create Distribution” button.

  3. Choose the type of distribution you want to create. For example, if you want to use CloudFront to deliver your website content, select “Web”.

  4. Configure the settings for your distribution. This includes setting the origin, which is the location of your content, and configuring caching settings.

  5. Once you have configured your settings, click “Create Distribution” to create your CloudFront distribution.

  6. After your CloudFront distribution is created, you will need to update your DNS settings to point to your CloudFront distribution. This involves creating a CNAME record in your DNS that points to your CloudFront distribution.

  7. Finally, test your CloudFront distribution to ensure that your content is being delivered correctly.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration and begin using CloudFront to deliver your content.
