copy_distribution(**kwargs)¶Creates a staging distribution using the configuration of the provided primary distribution. A staging distribution is a copy of an existing distribution (called the primary distribution) that you can use in a continuous deployment workflow.
After you create a staging distribution, you can use UpdateDistribution to modify the staging distribution's configuration. Then you can use CreateContinuousDeploymentPolicy to incrementally move traffic to the staging distribution.

TrustedSigners (dict) --
Warning
We recommend using TrustedKeyGroups instead of TrustedSigners .
A list of Amazon Web Services account IDs whose public keys CloudFront can use to validate signed URLs or signed cookies.
When a cache behavior contains trusted signers, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with the private key of a CloudFront key pair in a trusted signer's Amazon Web Services account. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Enabled (boolean) --
This field is true if any of the Amazon Web Services accounts have public keys that CloudFront can use to verify the signatures of signed URLs and signed cookies. If not, this field is false .
Quantity (integer) --
The number of Amazon Web Services accounts in the list.
Items (list) --
A list of Amazon Web Services account identifiers.
TrustedKeyGroups (dict) --
A list of key groups that CloudFront can use to validate signed URLs or signed cookies.
When a cache behavior contains trusted key groups, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with a private key whose corresponding public key is in the key group. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

This field is true if any of the key groups in the list have public keys that CloudFront can use to verify the signatures of signed URLs and signed cookies. If not, this field is false .
Quantity (integer) --
The number of key groups in the list.
Items (list) --
A list of key groups identifiers.
ViewerProtocolPolicy (string) --
The protocol that viewers can use to access the files in the origin specified by TargetOriginId when a request matches the path pattern in PathPattern . You can specify the following options:
allow-all : Viewers can use HTTP or HTTPS.redirect-to-https : If a viewer submits an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 301 (Moved Permanently) to the viewer along with the HTTPS URL. The viewer then resubmits the request using the new URL.https-only : If a viewer sends an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 403 (Forbidden).For more information about requiring the HTTPS protocol, see Requiring HTTPS Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
The only way to guarantee that viewers retrieve an object that was fetched from the origin using HTTPS is never to use any other protocol to fetch the object. If you have recently changed from HTTP to HTTPS, we recommend that you clear your objects' cache because cached objects are protocol agnostic. That means that an edge location will return an object from the cache regardless of whether the current request protocol matches the protocol used previously. For more information, see Managing Cache Expiration in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
AllowedMethods (dict) --
A complex type that controls which HTTP methods CloudFront processes and forwards to your Amazon S3 bucket or your custom origin. There are three choices:
GET and HEAD requests.GET , HEAD , and OPTIONS requests.GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, POST , and DELETE requests.If you pick the third choice, you may need to restrict access to your Amazon S3 bucket or to your custom origin so users can't perform operations that you don't want them to. For example, you might not want users to have permissions to delete objects from your origin.
Quantity (integer) --
The number of HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to forward to your origin. Valid values are 2 (for GET and HEAD requests), 3 (for GET , HEAD , and OPTIONS requests) and 7 (for GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, POST , and DELETE requests).
Items (list) --
A complex type that contains the HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to process and forward to your origin.
CachedMethods (dict) --
A complex type that controls whether CloudFront caches the response to requests using the specified HTTP methods. There are two choices:
GET and HEAD requests.GET , HEAD , and OPTIONS requests.If you pick the second choice for your Amazon S3 Origin, you may need to forward Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers, and Origin headers for the responses to be cached correctly.
Quantity (integer) --
The number of HTTP methods for which you want CloudFront to cache responses. Valid values are 2 (for caching responses to GET and HEAD requests) and 3 (for caching responses to GET , HEAD , and OPTIONS requests).
Items (list) --
A complex type that contains the HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to cache responses to.
SmoothStreaming (boolean) --
Indicates whether you want to distribute media files in the Microsoft Smooth Streaming format using the origin that is associated with this cache behavior. If so, specify true ; if not, specify false . If you specify true for SmoothStreaming , you can still distribute other content using this cache behavior if the content matches the value of PathPattern .
Compress (boolean) --
Whether you want CloudFront to automatically compress certain files for this cache behavior. If so, specify true ; if not, specify false . For more information, see Serving Compressed Files in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

viewer-request : The function executes when CloudFront receives a request from a viewer and before it checks to see whether the requested object is in the edge cache.origin-request : The function executes only when CloudFront sends a request to your origin. When the requested object is in the edge cache, the function doesn't execute.origin-response : The function executes after CloudFront receives a response from the origin and before it caches the object in the response. When the requested object is in the edge cache, the function doesn't execute.viewer-response : The function executes before CloudFront returns the requested object to the viewer. The function executes regardless of whether the object was already in the edge cache. If the origin returns an HTTP status code other than HTTP 200 (OK), the function doesn't execute.IncludeBody (boolean) --
A flag that allows a Lambda@Edge function to have read access to the body content. For more information, see Accessing the Request Body by Choosing the Include Body Option in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

Indicates whether you want CloudFront to forward query strings to the origin that is associated with this cache behavior and cache based on the query string parameters. CloudFront behavior depends on the value of QueryString and on the values that you specify for QueryStringCacheKeys , if any:
If you specify true for QueryString and you don't specify any values for QueryStringCacheKeys , CloudFront forwards all query string parameters to the origin and caches based on all query string parameters. Depending on how many query string parameters and values you have, this can adversely affect performance because CloudFront must forward more requests to the origin.
If you specify true for QueryString and you specify one or more values for QueryStringCacheKeys , CloudFront forwards all query string parameters to the origin, but it only caches based on the query string parameters that you specify.
If you specify false for QueryString , CloudFront doesn't forward any query string parameters to the origin, and doesn't cache based on query string parameters.
For more information, see Configuring CloudFront to Cache Based on Query String Parameters in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

(dict) --
A complex type that describes how CloudFront processes requests.
You must create at least as many cache behaviors (including the default cache behavior) as you have origins if you want CloudFront to serve objects from all of the origins. Each cache behavior specifies the one origin from which you want CloudFront to get objects. If you have two origins and only the default cache behavior, the default cache behavior will cause CloudFront to get objects from one of the origins, but the other origin is never used.
For the current quota (formerly known as limit) on the number of cache behaviors that you can add to a distribution, see Quotas in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
If you don't want to specify any cache behaviors, include only an empty CacheBehaviors element. Don't include an empty CacheBehavior element because this is invalid.
To delete all cache behaviors in an existing distribution, update the distribution configuration and include only an empty CacheBehaviors element.
To add, change, or remove one or more cache behaviors, update the distribution configuration and specify all of the cache behaviors that you want to include in the updated distribution.
For more information about cache behaviors, see Cache Behavior Settings in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

Note
You can optionally include a slash ( / ) at the beginning of the path pattern. For example, /images/*.jpg . CloudFront behavior is the same with or without the leading / .
The path pattern for the default cache behavior is * and cannot be changed. If the request for an object does not match the path pattern for any cache behaviors, CloudFront applies the behavior in the default cache behavior.
For more information, see Path Pattern in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

TrustedSigners (dict) --
Warning
We recommend using TrustedKeyGroups instead of TrustedSigners .
A list of Amazon Web Services account IDs whose public keys CloudFront can use to validate signed URLs or signed cookies.
When a cache behavior contains trusted signers, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with the private key of a CloudFront key pair in the trusted signer's Amazon Web Services account. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

When a cache behavior contains trusted key groups, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with a private key whose corresponding public key is in the key group. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Enabled (boolean) --
This field is true if any of the key groups in the list have public keys that CloudFront can use to verify the signatures of signed URLs and signed cookies. If not, this field is false .

Items (list) --
A list of key groups identifiers.
ViewerProtocolPolicy (string) --
The protocol that viewers can use to access the files in the origin specified by TargetOriginId when a request matches the path pattern in PathPattern . You can specify the following options:
allow-all : Viewers can use HTTP or HTTPS.redirect-to-https : If a viewer submits an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 301 (Moved Permanently) to the viewer along with the HTTPS URL. The viewer then resubmits the request using the new URL.https-only : If a viewer sends an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 403 (Forbidden).For more information about requiring the HTTPS protocol, see Requiring HTTPS Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
The only way to guarantee that viewers retrieve an object that was fetched from the origin using HTTPS is never to use any other protocol to fetch the object. If you have recently changed from HTTP to HTTPS, we recommend that you clear your objects' cache because cached objects are protocol agnostic. That means that an edge location will return an object from the cache regardless of whether the current request protocol matches the protocol used previously. For more information, see Managing Cache Expiration in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

The path to the custom error page that you want CloudFront to return to a viewer when your origin returns the HTTP status code specified by ErrorCode , for example, /4xx-errors/403-forbidden.html . If you want to store your objects and your custom error pages in different locations, your distribution must include a cache behavior for which the following is true:
PathPattern matches the path to your custom error messages. For example, suppose you saved custom error pages for 4xx errors in an Amazon S3 bucket in a directory named /4xx-errors . Your distribution must include a cache behavior for which the path pattern routes requests for your custom error pages to that location, for example, /4xx-errors/* .TargetOriginId specifies the value of the ID element for the origin that contains your custom error pages.If you specify a value for ResponsePagePath , you must also specify a value for ResponseCode .
We recommend that you store custom error pages in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you store custom error pages on an HTTP server and the server starts to return 5xx errors, CloudFront can't get the files that you want to return to viewers because the origin server is unavailable.
ResponseCode (string) --
The HTTP status code that you want CloudFront to return to the viewer along with the custom error page. There are a variety of reasons that you might want CloudFront to return a status code different from the status code that your origin returned to CloudFront, for example:
200 , the response typically won't be intercepted.400 or 500 as the ResponseCode for all 4xx or 5xx errors.200 status code (OK) and static website so your customers don't know that your website is down.If you specify a value for ResponseCode , you must also specify a value for ResponsePagePath .
ErrorCachingMinTTL (integer) --
The minimum amount of time, in seconds, that you want CloudFront to cache the HTTP status code specified in ErrorCode . When this time period has elapsed, CloudFront queries your origin to see whether the problem that caused the error has been resolved and the requested object is now available.
For more information, see Customizing Error Responses in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .

If you specify false for Enabled but you specify values for Bucket , prefix , and IncludeCookies , the values are automatically deleted.
IncludeCookies (boolean) --
Specifies whether you want CloudFront to include cookies in access logs, specify true for IncludeCookies . If you choose to include cookies in logs, CloudFront logs all cookies regardless of how you configure the cache behaviors for this distribution. If you don't want to include cookies when you create a distribution or if you want to disable include cookies for an existing distribution, specify false for IncludeCookies .
Bucket (string) --
The Amazon S3 bucket to store the access logs in, for example, myawslogbucket.s3.amazonaws.com .
Prefix (string) --
An optional string that you want CloudFront to prefix to the access log filenames for this distribution, for example, myprefix/ . If you want to enable logging, but you don't want to specify a prefix, you still must include an empty Prefix element in the Logging element.

If you specify a price class other than PriceClass_All , CloudFront serves your objects from the CloudFront edge location that has the lowest latency among the edge locations in your price class. Viewers who are in or near regions that are excluded from your specified price class may encounter slower performance.
For more information about price classes, see Choosing the Price Class for a CloudFront Distribution in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide . For information about CloudFront pricing, including how price classes (such as Price Class 100) map to CloudFront regions, see Amazon CloudFront Pricing.
Enabled (boolean) --
From this field, you can enable or disable the selected distribution.
ViewerCertificate (dict) --
A complex type that determines the distribution's SSL/TLS configuration for communicating with viewers.
CloudFrontDefaultCertificate (boolean) --
If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net , set this field to true .
If the distribution uses Aliases (alternate domain names or CNAMEs), set this field to false and specify values for the following fields:
ACMCertificateArn or IAMCertificateId (specify a value for one, not both)MinimumProtocolVersionSSLSupportMethodIAMCertificateId (string) --
If the distribution uses Aliases (alternate domain names or CNAMEs) and the SSL/TLS certificate is stored in Identity and Access Management (IAM), provide the ID of the IAM certificate.
If you specify an IAM certificate ID, you must also specify values for MinimumProtocolVersion and SSLSupportMethod .
ACMCertificateArn (string) --
If the distribution uses Aliases (alternate domain names or CNAMEs) and the SSL/TLS certificate is stored in Certificate Manager (ACM), provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the ACM certificate. CloudFront only supports ACM certificates in the US East (N. Virginia) Region ( us-east-1 ).
If you specify an ACM certificate ARN, you must also specify values for MinimumProtocolVersion and SSLSupportMethod .
SSLSupportMethod (string) --
If the distribution uses Aliases (alternate domain names or CNAMEs), specify which viewers the distribution accepts HTTPS connections from.
sni-only – The distribution accepts HTTPS connections from only viewers that support server name indication (SNI). This is recommended. Most browsers and clients support SNI.vip – The distribution accepts HTTPS connections from all viewers including those that don't support SNI. This is not recommended, and results in additional monthly charges from CloudFront.static-ip - Do not specify this value unless your distribution has been enabled for this feature by the CloudFront team. If you have a use case that requires static IP addresses for a distribution, contact CloudFront through the Amazon Web Services Support Center.If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net , don't set a value for this field.
MinimumProtocolVersion (string) --
If the distribution uses Aliases (alternate domain names or CNAMEs), specify the security policy that you want CloudFront to use for HTTPS connections with viewers. The security policy determines two settings:
For more information, see Security Policy and Supported Protocols and Ciphers Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
On the CloudFront console, this setting is called Security Policy .
When you're using SNI only (you set SSLSupportMethod to sni-only ), you must specify TLSv1 or higher.
If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net (you set CloudFrontDefaultCertificate to true ), CloudFront automatically sets the security policy to TLSv1 regardless of the value that you set here.
Certificate (string) --
This field is deprecated. Use one of the following fields instead:
ACMCertificateArnIAMCertificateIdCloudFrontDefaultCertificateCertificateSource (string) --
This field is deprecated. Use one of the following fields instead:
ACMCertificateArnIAMCertificateIdCloudFrontDefaultCertificateRestrictions (dict) --
A complex type that identifies ways in which you want to restrict distribution of your content.
GeoRestriction (dict) --
A complex type that controls the countries in which your content is distributed. CloudFront determines the location of your users using MaxMind GeoIP databases.
RestrictionType (string) --
The method that you want to use to restrict distribution of your content by country:
none : No geo restriction is enabled, meaning access to content is not restricted by client geo location.blacklist : The Location elements specify the countries in which you don't want CloudFront to distribute your content.whitelist : The Location elements specify the countries in which you want CloudFront to distribute your content.Quantity (integer) --
When geo restriction is enabled , this is the number of countries in your whitelist or blacklist . Otherwise, when it is not enabled, Quantity is 0 , and you can omit Items .
Items (list) --
A complex type that contains a Location element for each country in which you want CloudFront either to distribute your content ( whitelist ) or not distribute your content ( blacklist ).
The Location element is a two-letter, uppercase country code for a country that you want to include in your blacklist or whitelist . Include one Location element for each country.
CloudFront and MaxMind both use ISO 3166 country codes. For the current list of countries and the corresponding codes, see ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code on the International Organization for Standardization website. You can also refer to the country list on the CloudFront console, which includes both country names and codes.
WebACLId (string) --
A unique identifier that specifies the WAF web ACL, if any, to associate with this distribution. To specify a web ACL created using the latest version of WAF, use the ACL ARN, for example arn:aws:wafv2:us-east-1:123456789012:global/webacl/ExampleWebACL/473e64fd-f30b-4765-81a0-62ad96dd167a . To specify a web ACL created using WAF Classic, use the ACL ID, for example 473e64fd-f30b-4765-81a0-62ad96dd167a .
WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to CloudFront, and lets you control access to your content. Based on conditions that you specify, such as the IP addresses that requests originate from or the values of query strings, CloudFront responds to requests either with the requested content or with an HTTP 403 status code (Forbidden). You can also configure CloudFront to return a custom error page when a request is blocked. For more information about WAF, see the WAF Developer Guide.
HttpVersion (string) --
(Optional) Specify the maximum HTTP version(s) that you want viewers to use to communicate with CloudFront. The default value for new web distributions is http2 . Viewers that don't support HTTP/2 automatically use an earlier HTTP version.
For viewers and CloudFront to use HTTP/2, viewers must support TLSv1.2 or later, and must support Server Name Indication (SNI).
For viewers and CloudFront to use HTTP/3, viewers must support TLSv1.3 and Server Name Indication (SNI). CloudFront supports HTTP/3 connection migration to allow the viewer to switch networks without losing connection. For more information about connection migration, see Connection Migration at RFC 9000. For more information about supported TLSv1.3 ciphers, see Supported protocols and ciphers between viewers and CloudFront.
IsIPV6Enabled (boolean) --
If you want CloudFront to respond to IPv6 DNS requests with an IPv6 address for your distribution, specify true . If you specify false , CloudFront responds to IPv6 DNS requests with the DNS response code NOERROR and with no IP addresses. This allows viewers to submit a second request, for an IPv4 address for your distribution.
In general, you should enable IPv6 if you have users on IPv6 networks who want to access your content. However, if you're using signed URLs or signed cookies to restrict access to your content, and if you're using a custom policy that includes the IpAddress parameter to restrict the IP addresses that can access your content, don't enable IPv6. If you want to restrict access to some content by IP address and not restrict access to other content (or restrict access but not by IP address), you can create two distributions. For more information, see Creating a Signed URL Using a Custom Policy in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
If you're using an Route 53 Amazon Web Services Integration alias resource record set to route traffic to your CloudFront distribution, you need to create a second alias resource record set when both of the following are true:
For more information, see Routing Traffic to an Amazon CloudFront Web Distribution by Using Your Domain Name in the Route 53 Amazon Web Services Integration Developer Guide .
If you created a CNAME resource record set, either with Route 53 Amazon Web Services Integration or with another DNS service, you don't need to make any changes. A CNAME record will route traffic to your distribution regardless of the IP address format of the viewer request.
ContinuousDeploymentPolicyId (string) --
The identifier of a continuous deployment policy. For more information, see CreateContinuousDeploymentPolicy .
Staging (boolean) --
A Boolean that indicates whether this is a staging distribution. When this value is true , this is a staging distribution. When this value is false , this is not a staging distribution.
AliasICPRecordals (list) --
Amazon Web Services services in China customers must file for an Internet Content Provider (ICP) recordal if they want to serve content publicly on an alternate domain name, also known as a CNAME, that they've added to CloudFront. AliasICPRecordal provides the ICP recordal status for CNAMEs associated with distributions.
For more information about ICP recordals, see Signup, Accounts, and Credentials in Getting Started with Amazon Web Services services in China .
