## What the Agent can do and how to use it

* **Distribution Management**: Create, update, and delete CloudFront distributions
* **Origin Configuration**: Configure S3 buckets, HTTP servers, or custom origins as content sources
* **Cache Behaviors**: Set up caching rules, compression, and content optimization
* **Security**: Configure SSL/TLS certificates, geographic restrictions, and access controls
* **Invalidations**: Clear cached content and force fresh delivery
* **Monitoring**: Enable CloudFront access logging and real-time metrics

## Getting Started

1. Ensure AWS provider is added:

```bash theme={null}
monk cluster provider add -p aws
```

2. Define a distribution (save as cloudfront.yaml):

```yaml theme={null}
namespace: aws-cloudfront-examples

basic-s3-distribution:
  defines: aws-cloudfront/distribution
  region: us-east-1
  enabled: true
  default_root_object: index.html
  origins:
    - id: s3-origin
      domain_name: my-website-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com
      s3_origin_config:
        origin_access_identity: ""
  default_cache_behavior:
    target_origin_id: s3-origin
    viewer_protocol_policy: redirect-to-https
    allowed_methods: [GET, HEAD]
    cached_methods: [GET, HEAD]
```

3. Create/update:

```bash theme={null}
monk update aws-cloudfront-examples/basic-s3-distribution
monk describe aws-cloudfront-examples/basic-s3-distribution
```
