Reply To: GlobalAccelerator / S3 / CloudFront question erratum

[Kenneth-Samonte-Tutorials-Dojo]

Hi gch99,

Thanks for the feedback.

The Global Accelerator endpoint is not for the S3 bucket. As stated on the question, “A company hosts a web application service in the AWS eu-west-1 region.” so it could be a Load balancer or EC2 instances, as the origin on Cloudfront.

There is another origin on the “us-east-1” region, that’s why the CloudFront distribution is needed to run a Lambda@Edge to identify if the users is from North America and direct that request to the correct global accelerator endpoint.

Hope this helps.
