Can we connect cloudfront distribution URL over Direct connect public VIF

1

Can you please help to understand if we have Public and Private VIF both for Direct connect and user is accessing Cloudfront Distribution DNS from on premise. Will traffic hops over Public VIF or internet. Some document also mentioned that Public VIF allows for AWS public IP service with amazon domain but cloud front distribution has cloudfront.net domain, So will the traffic uses Public VIF for cloudfront.

Thank you !

CloudFront can be leveraged with a AWS Direct Connect Public Virtual Interface (VIF):

  • Traffic from on-premises clients to a CloudFront distribution will traverse the Public VIF to the closest edge location.
  • Traffic from a CloudFront edge location to an origin whose IP address is advertised into the AWS backbone over DX Public VIF, will also traverse this VIF. The only exception is when using CloudFront Embedded PoPs.
