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.
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
