Requirements for Amazon CloudFront - MediaLive

MediaLive includes a workflow wizard. One of the options in the wizard is to deliver output to AWS Elemental MediaPackage and from there to Amazon CloudFront. Therefore, for users to create a workflow with delivery to MediaPackage, users need permissions in CloudFront.

Use the workflow wizard to create the CloudFront distribution that is associated with a MediaPackage channel, if your organization supports MediaPackage as an output destination.
