For the current maximum number of origins that you can specify per distribution, see General Quotas on Web Distributions in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide (quotas were formerly referred to as limits).

A list of HTTP header names and values that CloudFront adds to the requests that it sends to the origin.
Use this type to specify an origin that is not an Amazon S3 bucket, with one exception. If the Amazon S3 bucket is configured with static website hosting, use this type. If the Amazon S3 bucket is not configured with static website hosting, use the S3OriginConfig type instead.
The domain name for the origin.
The unique identifier of an origin access control for this origin.
An optional path that CloudFront appends to the origin domain name when CloudFront requests content from the origin.
