Optimizing high availability with CloudFront origin failover

You can set up CloudFront with origin failover for scenarios that require high availability.
To get started, you create an origin group with two origins: a primary and a secondary.
If the primary origin is unavailable, or returns specific HTTP response status codes that indicate a failure, CloudFront automatically switches to the secondary origin.
To set up origin failover, you must have a distribution with at least two origins.
You create or update a cache behaviour to use the origin group.
