Thanks for the work on this — a few important concerns and concrete change requests before we can merge. High-level summary
The current PR appears to create a new CloudFront distribution (title + diff imply "Add CloudFront distribution..."). Creating a separate distribution is risky and likely unnecessary. Please update the PR to follow one of the two safe approaches above. If you must use CloudFront fronting the site, call that out explicitly and include ACM cert work — but note that will require changing viewer TLS termination and provisioning ACM certs in us-east-1. Concrete required changes for this PR (no edge functions / keep Vercel certs preferred)

I understand the concern. To clarify the current state: Before this PR: No CloudFront distribution existed. Traffic went directly: Route53 A record → Vercel IP (216.198.79.1). Vercel handled TLS termination. This PR creates: A new CloudFront distribution that changes the architecture:
This is indeed a significant infrastructure change that moves TLS termination from Vercel to CloudFront. Question: Should I:
The original problem statement requested CloudFront with path-based routing, but if Vercel rewrites are preferred to keep Vercel as TLS terminator, I can pivot to that approach instead. Please advise which direction to take. |

CloudFront implementation removed in commit 1452562. All infrastructure changes have been reverted:
The repository is back to its original state with traffic flowing directly from Route53 to Vercel. Same-origin navigation will be handled via Vercel rewrite in the resume repository instead.

This PR removes the CloudFront implementation after deciding to use a Vercel rewrite approach instead to achieve same-origin navigation for
brignano.io/resume/*.Decision
The CloudFront approach would have created a new CloudFront distribution for brignano.io, changing TLS termination from Vercel to CloudFront. This represented a significant infrastructure change from the previous architecture where traffic went directly from Route53 to Vercel.
Instead, same-origin navigation will be achieved through a Vercel rewrite implemented in the resume repository (https://github.com/brignano/resume/pull/8), keeping the infrastructure simple and maintaining Vercel as the TLS terminator.
Changes Made
All CloudFront-related changes have been reverted:
Current State
The infrastructure remains in its original state:

brignano.io/resume/*will be handled entirely through Vercel rewrites.Original prompt
