Add multiple domains to aws cloudfront

Question

I am trying to point both https://app.test1.com and https://app.test2.com to a aws cloudfront distribution.

Does anyone how how to do it? I am unable to figure out how to add both domains and also both the SSL certs to a single cloud front distribution

Answer 1

You can only attach 1 one certificate to each CloudFront distribution. If multiple domains is what you want, you need a single certificate with all the desired hostnames listed as Subject Alternative Names. Many SSL CAs will sell you a cert like this, sometimes called multi-domain, SAN, or UC certificates. You can also get one from Amazon Certificate Manager.

You add additional hostnames to your distribution the same way you added the first one: configure alternate domain names . Simply using DNS CNAME records isn't enough, becaue CloudFront has to expect the hostname on the incoming request.
