Can a CloudFront origin be another CloudFront distribution?

0

Are there any issues with chaining CloudFront distributions like this?

Use case: An application that has 2 origins — an S3 bucket and an API. The API will be used by other projects so it has its own CloudFront and we want its cache to be available to those projects.

Example:

project1.example.com -> api.example.com

project2.example.com -> api.example.com

Thanks!

Yes you can chain CloudFront distributions, but only 2-deep. It's not optimal however customers have various use-cases to do this.

If you try 3-deep it will fail.
