Control: 4 CloudFront distributions should have origin failover configured

Description

This control checks whether an Amazon CloudFront distribution is configured with an origin group that has two or more origins.

CloudFront origin failover can increase availability. Origin failover automatically redirects traffic to a secondary origin if the primary origin is unavailable or if it returns specific HTTP response status codes.

Remediation

For detailed remediation instructions, see Creating an origin group.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_cloudfront_4

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_cloudfront_4 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

select
  arn as resource,
  case
    when origin_groups ->> 'Items' is not null then 'ok'
    else 'alarm'
  end as status,
  case
    when origin_groups ->> 'Items' is not null then title || ' origin group is configured.'
    else title || ' origin group not configured.'
  end as reason
  
  , region, account_id
from
  aws_cloudfront_distribution;
