Description
AWS CloudFront Origin Access Control is a security feature that restricts access to Amazon S3 bucket content, ensuring it's only accessible through CloudFront. It creates a trust relationship between CloudFront and S3, preventing direct access to S3 objects. This mechanism enhances content protection by controlling who can retrieve files from the origin, reducing potential security risks.
