If you use CloudFront with AWS GovCloud (US), be sure that you use the correct credentials:
+ To use CloudFront with your AWS GovCloud (US) resources, you must have an AWS GovCloud (US) account. If you don’t have an account, see [AWS GovCloud (US) Sign Up](getting-started-sign-up.md) for more information.
+ To set up CloudFront, sign in to the [CloudFront console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/) by using your standard AWS credentials. You cannot use your AWS GovCloud (US) account credentials to sign in to the standard AWS Management Console.
+ It is important to note that CloudFront is located outside of the AWS GovCloud (US) boundary and customers should not enter or store ITAR-controlled data in the service.
