I have a Cloudfront distribution, with an attached ssl certificate. I want to use it to proxy requests to an EC2 instance running Gunicorn.
Currently, I have the ec2 instance listening on some random port (HTTP), with the cloudfront distribution pointing to its private ip, but that doesn't seem to be working. The site is unaccessible via cloudfront, but can be accessed on its public ip (on the correct port). Clearly this is the opposite of what I want.
I want only cloudfront to be publicly accessible (redirect http to https), and the ec2 instance to only be accessible via cloudfront.
Should I in fact be using a load balancer for this, instead of cloudfront, and pointing route53 to that instead?

@jweyrich Would you mind explaining? I'm sure you're right, but I'd like to learn a bit more so that I can understand it myself

The fact that you have multiple servers - supposedly serving the same content - means you are better off using an ELB or ALB. Keep in mind you're balancing load and doing SSL termination. You may configure one distribution per origin in CloudFront, but that doesn't make much sense unless those origins serve different content (from each other). You can still point your CloudFront origin to the ALB/ELB.

Mar 28 at 20:21
@jweyrich Oh, sorry, no, just one ec2 instance, and unlikely to be more of them. There are no multiple servers
– Alex
Mar 28 at 20:24
My bad - misread your Q. CloudFront cannot access private IPs. The origin is required to have a publicly accessible IP. You may add some restrictions to your webserver configuration, like filtering by HTTP header contents, but there's no guarantee someone won't bypass that at some point. Just don't publish your endpoint to anyone.
