title: AWS Amplify CLI CloudFront S3 Restrictions
body: <p>When hosting a site with AWS S3 and CloudFront, it's possible to <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/private-content-restricting-access-to-s3.html" rel="noreferrer">restrict access to content that you serve from Amazon S3 buckets</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I want to restrict access to assets on S3 to my Amplify App (CDN).</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to achieve the same restriction with AWS Amplify? After deploying my AWS Amplify App, I don't see a CloudFront distribution. The documentation states: "The AWS Amplify Console leverages the Amazon CloudFront Global Edge Network to distribute your web app globally" (<a href="https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/console/faqs/" rel="noreferrer">FAQ, Hosting</a>).</p>
