The error you're encountering is a common issue with new AWS accounts or when creating your first CloudFront distribution. The message "Your account must be verified before you can add new CloudFront resources" indicates that AWS requires additional verification before allowing CloudFront resource creation.

To resolve this issue, you have a couple of options:

  1. Contact AWS Support:
  • Open a case with AWS Support through the AWS Support Center
  • Include the error message and any request ID in your support case
  • This can be done under "Account and billing" which is available free of charge
  1. Request a Service Quota increase:
  • Create a new Service Quota increase case
  • Select "CloudFront Distributions" as the limit type
  • Choose "Web Distributions per Account" as the quota
  • Provide a brief description of your use case
  • Wait for approval (typically a few hours)

This verification requirement is a security measure AWS implements, and it applies even if your IAM user has AdministratorAccess policy. Additionally, ensure your payment method is properly verified in your AWS account, as unverified payment methods can sometimes cause similar restrictions.

Once your account is verified, you should be able to create CloudFront distributions without this error.

Based on the error message, I reckon you have just provisioned the account and have not verified it. Did you get a verification email, if so, accept the verification and you can then deploy the resource. This documentation might help.
