API Gateway and Cloud Front in the same domain with different path

Yaseen — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:56:04 +0000

This is a very useful feature where we can have both cloudfront and api gateway in the same domain.

Cloudfront has a beautiful feature of origins and behavior with which we can redirect to specific resource based on certain pattern.

This is in assumption that already api gateway and cloudfront is created along with route53 configurations.

First we will create origin for pointing to S3 bucket.

Save the configurations.

Later verify that we have new S3 origin.

Let's create another origin pointing to api gateway.

We now want to create the behavior and attach the origin to it.

We have successfully created the behaviour, default is pointing to S3 bucket.

AWS-CDK Custom constructs

CDK constructs are cloud components. We use constructs to encapsulate logic, which we can reuse throughout our infrastructure code.
AWS also defines Constructs as they are the basic building blocks of AWS CDK apps. A construct represents a "cloud component" and encapsulates everything AWS Cloud Formation needs to create the component.

import * as s3 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3';
import { Construct } from 'constructs';
import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';

export class s3BucketConstruct extends Construct {
  public readonly s3Bucket: s3.Bucket;

  public constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
    super(scope, id);

    this.s3Bucket = new s3.Bucket(scope, `sample-s3-bucket`, {
      // Block all public access
      blockPublicAccess: s3.BlockPublicAccess.BLOCK_ALL,
      // When stack is deleted, delete this bucket also
      removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
      // Delete contained objects when bucket is deleted
      autoDeleteObjects: true,
    });
  }
}

This is how we can create custom construct.
