Do you find working with the aws_cloudfront_distribution resource slow and painful?

If you work with AWS and Terraform regularly, surely you’ll be familiar with the horrendous waiting times AWS callously submits us to.

A simple trick applied to your aws_cloudfront_distribution resource should do the trick!

Don’t waste money redirecting to https with an AWS lambda. Instead, set up a “viewer protocol policy” on the caching behaviour of your AWS Cloudfront distribution.

viewer_protocol_policy = "redirect-to-https"
