Amazon CloudFront integrates with VPC IPAM to support BYOIP

Amazon CloudFront now supports bringing your own IP addresses (BYOIP) for Anycast Static IPs via VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM). This capability enables network administrators to use their own public IPv4 address pools with CloudFront distributions, simplifying IP address management across AWS’s global infrastructure.

CloudFront typically uses rotating IP addresses to serve traffic. CloudFront Anycast Static IPs enables customers to provide a dedicated list of IP addresses to partners and customers, enhancing security and simplifying network management. Previously, customers implementing Anycast Static IPs received AWS-provided static IP addresses for their workloads. With IPAM’s unified interface, customers can now create dedicated IP address pools using BYOIP and assign them to CloudFront Anycast Static IP lists. Customers do not need to change the existing IP address space for their applications when they migrate to CloudFront, thus maintaining existing allow-lists and branding.

The feature is available within Amazon VPC IPAM in all commercial AWS Regions, excluding the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet) and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD). To learn more about CloudFront BYOIP feature, view the BYOIP CloudFront documentation. For details on pricing, refer to the IPAM tab on the Amazon VPC Pricing Page.
