A. B. C. D.Answer - A and B.
The AWS documentation mentions that the origin for a cloudfront distribution can be an Amazon S3 bucket or HTTP server from which CloudFront gets the files that it distributes.
For more information on the distributions, please refer to the below link:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-overview.htmlCloudFront is an AWS service that provides a globally distributed content delivery network (CDN) that delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to users with low latency, high transfer speed, and increased security. CloudFront has a feature called Web Distribution that allows you to distribute your web content to users using the closest edge location to the user.
To configure a CloudFront web distribution, you must specify the origins from which CloudFront pulls the content. An origin is the source of the content that CloudFront caches and delivers to users. There are several valid origins for CloudFront web distributions, but only two of them are among the options given:
A. An HTTP Server: You can configure CloudFront to pull content from an HTTP server, which could be an EC2 instance, a load balancer, or an on-premises server. When you specify an HTTP server as the origin, you must provide the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server and the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) to use.
B. An S3 bucket: You can configure CloudFront to pull content from an S3 bucket, which is a scalable and highly available object storage service. When you specify an S3 bucket as the origin, you must provide the bucket name and the object path to the content.
C. An SQS queue: An SQS queue is not a valid origin for CloudFront web distributions. SQS is a message queuing service that decouples and scales microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.
D. An SNS topic: An SNS topic is not a valid origin for CloudFront web distributions. SNS is a pub/sub messaging service that enables decoupling and scaling of microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.
In conclusion, the valid origins for CloudFront web distributions are A. An HTTP server and B. An S3 bucket.
