Amazon CloudFront Migration Execution Service

We replicate or adapt existing rules (e.g., SSL/TLS, firewall, edge functions) to CloudFront.

For clients without a CDN, we design and implement new CloudFront distributions optimized for performance and security.

We use DNS-based transitions with Route53 health checks to ensure reliable switchover.

1. Discovery & Proposal
   We meet with prospective clients to assess needs, then produce a migration plan and project cost estimate.
2. Pilot Implementation
   We create a staging CloudFront distribution, test the solution, and refine configurations.
3. Full Rollout
   We conduct a controlled DNS cutover, monitor traffic, and address issues in real time.
4. Review & Optimize
   Post-launch, we provide ongoing support, performance tuning, and cost analysis.
5. Scale & Evolve
   As the client's business grows, we leverage additional AWS services and advanced CloudFront features.

1. Replicate CDN Settings
   • SSL/TLS: Import or request certificates in ACM.
   • Firewall & Rules: Translate existing CDN page/firewall rules to CloudFront Behaviors or AWS WAF.
   • Edge Compute: Replace custom edge scripts (e.g., Cloudflare Workers) with Lambda@Edge or CloudFront Functions.
2. Configure CloudFront Distribution
   • Origins: Connect to S3, ALB, or external.
   • Caching: Set custom cache policies for static vs. dynamic content.
   • WAF: Port firewall rules into AWS WAF.
   • Logging: Enable access logs or real-time logs.
3. Parallel Testing
   • Create a staging distribution.
   • Test traffic with a subdomain.
   • Validate performance and security.
4. Cutover
   • Lower DNS TTL.
   • Update DNS CNAME to CloudFront.
   • Monitor for errors.
5. Rollback
   • Revert DNS to old CDN if major issues arise.

1. Identify Origin: On-premises, other cloud, or AWS-based.
2. Setup Distribution: Configure behaviors, SSL, caching, WAF.
3. Pilot, Test & Launch: Use partial traffic routing or a subdomain to validate before a full DNS switch.

We maintain all CloudFront configurations as infrastructure as code, enabling version control, automated deployments, and consistent environments across all client implementations.

• Custom CloudFormation templates for different use cases (static websites, dynamic applications, video streaming)
• Nested stacks for complex deployments involving multiple AWS services
• Integration with AWS Organizations for multi-account deployments
• Custom resource types for advanced configurations
• Automated rollback capabilities

• Reusable Terraform modules for common CloudFront patterns
• State management in S3 with DynamoDB locking
• Integration with multiple provider configurations for cross-account setup
• Workspace-based environment separation
• Custom providers for specialized requirements

• Automated deployment of infrastructure changes
• Blue-green deployment patterns for CloudFront configurations
• Integration with AWS CodePipeline, Gitlab CI and GitHub Actions
• Automated security and compliance validation

• Git-based version control for all infrastructure code
• Documentation generation
• Change tracking and audit compliance
• Peer review processes for infrastructure changes
