Values that CloudFront displays in the console
When you create a new distribution or update an existing distribution, CloudFront displays the following information in the CloudFront console.
Note
Active trusted signers, the AWS accounts that have an active CloudFront key pair and can be used to create valid signed URLs, are currently not visible in the CloudFront console.
Distribution ID
When you perform an action on a distribution using the CloudFront API, you use the
distribution ID to specify which distribution to use, for
example, EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE
. You can't change a distribution's distribution ID.
Deploying and status
When you deploy a distribution, you see the Deploying status under the Last modified column. Wait for the distribution to finish deploying and make sure the Status column shows Enabled. For more information, see Distribution state.
Last modified
The date and time that the distribution was last modified, using ISO 8601
format, for example, 2012-05-19T19:37:58Z. For more information, see https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Domain name
You use the distribution's domain name in the links to your objects. For example, if
your distribution's domain name is d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
, the link to
/images/image.jpg
would be
https://d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net/images/image.jpg
. You can't change the CloudFront
domain name for your distribution. For more information about CloudFront URLs for links to your
objects, see Customizing the URL format for files in CloudFront.
If you specified one or more alternate domain names (CNAMEs), you can use your own domain names for links to your objects instead of using the CloudFront domain name. For more information about CNAMEs, see Alternate domain names (CNAMEs).
Note
CloudFront domain names are unique. Your distribution's domain name was never used for a previous distribution and will never be reused for another distribution in the future.
