CDN for EC2 instance

Question

Without using application load balancer, I would like to bind Cloudfront to EC2 instance. I created a distribution with domain name ec2-***********.******.amazonaws.com with HOST as header but I got 
```
502 ERROR CloudFront wasn't able to connect to the origin. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.
```
When I click ec2-***********.******.amazonaws.com , no page opens.

Answer

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean "When I click ec2-***.**.amazonaws.com , no page opens".  Is ec2-***.**.amazonaws.com running as a publicly-accessible webserver?  If so, it should be OK as an origin for CloudFront.
