AWS Restrict access from cloudfront to load balancer

问题

I'm using Cloudfront with load balancing and ec2 instances.

In AWS, my load balancer accepts traffic from all http connections. It is possible to restrict that to accept only http connections from my Cloudfront distributions ? And how can I do that ?

Thanks.

AFAIK, you can't do this at layer 3 as an ELB will allow access from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0).

If you're running Apache and can find a specific header that cloudfront uses/sets then you could do this at layer 7 using mod_headers.

According to http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/RequestAndResponseBehaviorCustomOrigin.html cloudfront will set the Header Via to 1.1 alphanumeric-string.cloudfront.net, so you could match this in your virtualhost by doing something like:

SetEnvIf Via "^1\.1\ [a-z0-9]+\.cloudfront\.net$ VIA_CLOUDFRONT
<LocationMatch /origin/>
    Options -Indexes
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all

    # allow from cloudfront only
    Allow from env=VIA_CLOUDFRONT
</LocationMatch>
