URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in XML format.

StreamingDistributionConfig

Root level tag for the StreamingDistributionConfig parameters.

Required: Yes

Aliases

A complex type that contains information about CNAMEs (alternate domain names), if any, for this streaming distribution.

Type: Aliases object

Required: No

CallerReference

A unique value (for example, a date-time stamp) that ensures that the request can't be replayed.

If the value of CallerReference is new (regardless of the content of the StreamingDistributionConfig object), CloudFront creates a new distribution.

If CallerReference is a value that you already sent in a previous request to create a distribution, CloudFront returns a DistributionAlreadyExists error.

Type: String

Required: Yes

Comment

Any comments you want to include about the streaming distribution.

Type: String

Required: Yes

Enabled

Whether the streaming distribution is enabled to accept user requests for content.

Type: Boolean

Required: Yes

Logging

A complex type that controls whether access logs are written for the streaming distribution.

Type: StreamingLoggingConfig object

Required: No

PriceClass

A complex type that contains information about price class for this streaming distribution.

Type: String

Valid Values: PriceClass_100 | PriceClass_200 | PriceClass_All

Required: No

S3Origin

A complex type that contains information about the Amazon S3 bucket from which you want CloudFront to get your media files for distribution.

Type: S3Origin object

Required: Yes

TrustedSigners

A complex type that specifies any Amazon Web Services accounts that you want to permit to create signed URLs for private content. If you want the distribution to use signed URLs, include this element; if you want the distribution to use public URLs, remove this element. For more information, see Serving Private Content through CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

Type: TrustedSigners object

Required: Yes

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 201 response.

The following data is returned in XML format by the service.

StreamingDistribution

Root level tag for the StreamingDistribution parameters.

Required: Yes

ActiveTrustedSigners

A complex type that lists the Amazon Web Services accounts, if any, that you included in the TrustedSigners complex type for this distribution. These are the accounts that you want to allow to create signed URLs for private content.

The Signer complex type lists the Amazon Web Services account number of the trusted signer or self if the signer is the Amazon Web Services account that created the distribution. The Signer element also includes the IDs of any active CloudFront key pairs that are associated with the trusted signer's Amazon Web Services account. If no KeyPairId element appears for a Signer, that signer can't create signed URLs.

For more information, see Serving Private Content through CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.
