Changes A new datatype in the CloudFront API, AliasICPRecordal, provides the ICP recordal status for CNAMEs associated with distributions. AWS 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 have added to CloudFront. The status value is returned in the CloudFront response; you cannot configure it yourself. The status is set to APPROVED for all CNAMEs (aliases) in regions outside of China.

Changes With Origin Failover capability in CloudFront, you can setup two origins for your distributions - primary and secondary, such that your content is served from your secondary origin if CloudFront detects that your primary origin is unavailable. These origins can be any combination of AWS origins or non-AWS custom HTTP origins. For example, you can have two Amazon S3 buckets that serve as your origin that you independently upload your content to. If an object that CloudFront requests from your primary bucket is not present or if connection to your primary bucket times-out, CloudFront will request the object from your secondary bucket. So, you can configure CloudFront to trigger a failover in response to either HTTP 4xx or 5xx status codes.

Changes Lambda@Edge Now Provides You Access to the Request Body for HTTP POST/PUT Processing. With this feature, you can now offload more origin logic to the edge and improve end-user latency. Developers typically use Web/HTML forms or Web Beacons/Bugs as a mechanism to collect data from the end users and then process that data at their origins servers. For example, if you are collecting end user behavior data through a web beacon on your website, you can use this feature to access the user behavior data and directly log it to an Amazon Kinesis Firehose endpoint from the Lambda function, thereby simplifying your origin infrastructure.

Changes You can now use a new Amazon CloudFront capability called Field-Level Encryption to further enhance the security of sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or personally identifiable information (PII) like social security numbers. CloudFront's field-level encryption further encrypts sensitive data in an HTTPS form using field-specific encryption keys (which you supply) before a POST request is forwarded to your origin. This ensures that sensitive data can only be decrypted and viewed by certain components or services in your application stack. Field-level encryption is easy to setup. Simply configure the fields that have to be further encrypted by CloudFront using the public keys you specify and you can reduce attack surface for your sensitive data.
2017/10/26 - 1 new 7 updated api methods
Changes You can now specify additional options for MinimumProtocolVersion, which controls the SSL/TLS protocol that CloudFront uses to communicate with viewers. The minimum protocol version that you choose also determines the ciphers that CloudFront uses to encrypt the content that it returns to viewers.
