Can I migrate a CloudFront distribution to another AWS account?

I want to migrate my Amazon CloudFront distribution to another AWS account.

Resolution

CloudFront doesn't support the migration of a distribution from one account to another account.

However, CloudFront does support the migration of a custom Canonical Name Record (CNAME) from one distribution to another distribution. You can migrate the CNAME to a distribution in the same account, or to a distribution in another account.

For information, see Move an alternate domain name.

Note: You can't migrate the default CloudFront domain name on your distribution between accounts. The domain name format is similar to: d1234abcd.cloudfront.net
