How to Resolve Manually

This AWS Config rule verifies if a CloudFront Distribution includes an Origin Group configured with a minimum of two Origins. The rule will be flagged as non-compliant if no Origin Group has been created.


In order to resolve this, go to CloudFront > Distributions then look for the non-compliant Distribution from the list and click on its name to access to the properties screen.

Click on Origins tab and then click on Create origin group button from within the Origins group card.


Once there, choose at least two Origins to be added to the group, select the desired Failover criteria and finally click on Create origin group button.
