Easily set up a Amazon Cloudfront Distribution for your project, optionally with your custom TLS certificates.
Your AWS credentials should either be in ~/.aws/credentials or in the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
cloudfront-tls is a node.js program/module.
npm install -g cloudfront-tls
$ cloudfront-tls -h
Usage: cloudfront-tls [options] origin
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-a, --aliases <aliases,...> CNAMES for your distribution.
--cert-id <IAM ServerCertId> The ID of your cert in IAM.
-c, --cert <cert> Path to the public key certificate.
-k, --key <key> Path to the private key.
-n, --cert-name <certificate name> A unique name for the server certificate.
-i, --intermediate <intermediate certs> Path to the concatenated intermediate certificates.
All the options are optional ;-). When using --cert-id you don't need to provide cert, key and intermediate.
If you don't already have your certificate in IAM, provide at least cert, key and 'cert-name' so it can be uploaded to IAM for you.
cloudfront-tls -a www.my-site.com my-bucket.s3.aws.com creates a distribution for the specified origin and
sets up the alias www.my-site.com.
You can then set up a CNAME record for www.my-site.com pointing to the returned cloudfront hostname.
var cloudfront = require('cloudfront-tls')
cloudfront({
origin: 'my-bucket.s3.aws.com', // required
aliases: ['www.my-site.com'], // optional aliases
certId: 'foobar', // If you already have your cert in IAM, provide its id here
// otherwise provide at least cert, certName and key if you want to use your own certificate
cert: 'foo.crt', // Path to the public key certificate
key: 'foo.key', // Path to the private key
certName: 'my-cert', // A unique name for the server certificate
intermediate: 'chain.crt', // Path to the concatenated intermediate certificates (optional)
}, function(err, distribution) {
if (err) throw err
console.log(distribution)
