Question 280
An AWS network engineer must address this specific condition: A web distribution uses HTTPS from viewers to CloudFront but fetches origin content over HTTP due to a permissive origin protocol policy. Which implementation or operational change BEST meets the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Secure viewer-to-edge traffic does not protect origin traffic when the origin connection remains cleartext. Confirm the change by checking that origin requests use validated HTTPS while clients continue using HTTPS to the distribution.
Incorrect Answers
Network peer authentication cannot independently prove that a particular HTTPS hostname is the intended app server. That adjustment does not address the controlling condition: secure viewer-to-edge traffic does not protect origin traffic when the origin connection remains cleartext. Verify origin requests use validated HTTPS while clients continue using HTTPS to the distribution.
CloudFront's certificate region requirements differ from those of regional ALB listeners. It does not directly achieve the required result: origin requests use validated HTTPS while clients continue using HTTPS to the distribution. The constraint is that secure viewer-to-edge traffic does not protect origin traffic when the origin connection remains cleartext.
HTTPS transport encryption does not establish server identity when its certificate is invalid or expired. It does not directly achieve the required result: origin requests use validated HTTPS while clients continue using HTTPS to the distribution. The constraint is that secure viewer-to-edge traffic does not protect origin traffic when the origin connection remains cleartext.
