AWS Cloudfront distribution is disabled

Description

When a CloudFront distribution is enabled, it will continue to incur charges for data transfer and requests, even if it is not being used by your application. Disabling the distribution can help to reduce these costs. In addition, leaving an unused CloudFront distribution enabled can also pose a security risk, as it may be vulnerable to attack or misuse. Disabling the distribution can help to mitigate these risks.

However, it is important to note that disabling a CloudFront distribution may cause any applications or websites that rely on it to become unavailable.
