To enable caching in AWS CloudFront when using an Application Load Balancer (ALB) as the origin, you'll need to configure several settings:

  1. Configure Cache Control Headers on your web server behind the ALB to instruct CloudFront how long to cache content.

  2. Use Managed Cache Policies in CloudFront:

  • Consider using the "UseOriginCacheControlHeaders" policy to respect the Cache-Control headers sent by your origin.
  • Alternatively, create a custom cache policy to specify which headers, cookies, or query strings should be included in the cache key.
  1. Set appropriate Time to Live (TTL) values:
  • Ensure the Minimum TTL is set to a value greater than 0 if you want to force some level of caching.
  1. Enable compression support in your cache policy if needed:
  • Enable Gzip and/or Brotli compression if your origin returns compressed objects or if you're using CloudFront compression.
  • This allows CloudFront to request and cache objects in compressed formats when viewers support them.
  1. Consider enabling CloudFront Origin Shield for an additional caching layer that can improve your cache hit ratio.

  2. In the CloudFront distribution settings, select "Use Origin Cache Headers" for the Object Caching setting.

The effectiveness of your caching strategy will depend on the nature of your content. If your images or other content change frequently or are personalized, you may need to adjust your caching strategy accordingly.
