what

• Allow each custom_origins entry to use either custom_origin_config
  or vpc_origin_config.
• Add validation requiring exactly one origin configuration.
• Document VPC origin usage and add a complete internal ALB example.

why

• Enable CloudFront distributions created by this module to reach private
  ALBs through CloudFront VPC origins.
• Preserve the existing custom origin API and current Terraform and AWS
  provider requirements.
• Keep aws_cloudfront_vpc_origin outside the module so its lifecycle can
  be managed independently from the distribution.

validation

• terraform fmt -check -recursive
• terraform validate on the root module
• terraform validate on examples/complete
• terraform validate on examples/vpc-origin
• Validated with hashicorp/aws 6.13.0, the module's existing minimum

• Closes support vpc origins #376

better bump to >= 6.28.0 and include owner_account_id too and without it the module errors out as soon as you touch vpc_origin_config as noted in cloudposse/terraform-aws-cloudfront-cdn#164

Thanks for catching this. Addressed in adf776f:

Walkthrough

The module now supports CloudFront VPC origins through custom_origins. A complete Terraform example provisions an internal ALB and VPC origin, routes /private/* through CloudFront, updates provider constraints, and documents the configuration.

Changes: VPC origin support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Origin configuration contract variables.tf, main.tf, versions.tf	custom_origins now accepts exactly one custom_origin_config or vpc_origin_config. The distribution emits the matching configuration block. The AWS provider constraint is >= 6.28.0.
VPC origin infrastructure example examples/vpc-origin/*, examples/complete/versions.tf	A new example provisions a VPC, internal ALB, CloudFront VPC origin, and /private/* cache route. It adds context inputs, fixtures, outputs, logging configuration, and provider constraints.
VPC origin usage documentation README.yaml	The README documents an existing VPC origin resource, module configuration, and ordered cache behavior.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to adf77

The new example cannot successfully serve its private route, so it should gain a backend or fixed response before merge.

Explanation

Issue #376 requires VPC origins for CloudFront, including internal load balancers. variables.tf adds mutually exclusive custom_origin_config and vpc_origin_config inputs with validation. main.tf emits the CloudFront vpc_origin_config block and supports owner_account_id and timeout settings. The examples/vpc-origin example provisions an internal ALB and connects it to the module. The summary also reports Terraform formatting and validation for the module and examples.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #376. The provider version updates enable the required CloudFront VPC origin argument. The examples/vpc-origin resources, documentation example, validation changes, and supporting context are directly related to demonstrating and configuring an internal load balancer as a VPC origin. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Register a backend for aws_lb_target_group.internal.

aws_lb_listener.internal forwards origin requests to this target group, but the example never registers a target. Requests to /private/* will reach an empty target group and receive HTTP 503 responses. Add a reachable backend and target registration, or use a fixed-response listener action if this example only tests VPC origin connectivity. (docs.aws.amazon.com)

[Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) (osterman)]

Thank you. VPC origin support is useful.

1. owner_account_id needs aws >= 6.28.0. A raised provider floor is a major release, so this PR has the major label. If you remove owner_account_id and keep >= 6.13.0 (vpc_origin_config exists since 5.82.0), this PR becomes minor.
2. Please remove examples/vpc-origin. Terratest does not run it, it creates a VPC and an ALB, and /private/* returns 503 because the ALB has no targets. The README example is sufficient.
3. Update the description to match the diff. It says that the provider floor does not change.

Thank you. VPC origin support is useful.

1. `owner_account_id` needs aws >= 6.28.0. A raised provider floor is a major release, so this PR has the `major` label. If you remove `owner_account_id` and keep `>= 6.13.0` (`vpc_origin_config` exists since 5.82.0), this PR becomes `minor`.

2. Please remove `examples/vpc-origin`. Terratest does not run it, it creates a VPC and an ALB, and `/private/*` returns 503 because the ALB has no targets. The README example is sufficient.

Thanks Erik. I took the minor-release path: removed owner_account_id and restored the AWS provider floor to >= 6.13.0. I removed the standalone examples/vpc-origin directory and kept the README usage example, which now makes the same-account scope explicit. I updated the PR description to match and validated the module with AWS provider 6.13.0.
