need documentation regarding a CloudFront only works with internet-facing ALB

Question

I am implementing ECS+ALB+CludFront, however, my Cloudfront request is not hitting the ALB (internal), the ALB was created as internal, does CloudFront work with internal ALB? If it only works with internet-facing ALB, can you show me the official AWS doc link?

thanks,

Accepted Answer

No afraid cloudfront only works with an internet load balancer.

This is how you restrict the alb to only allow cloudfront https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/restrict-access-to-load-balancer.html

I cant find an exact DOC that says It has it be Internet and not Internal but I do know its a requirement because CloudFront is a internet facing service and there are no such endpoints for cloudfront to attach to your VPC directly.
