Creating a CloudFront VPC origin for the Application Load Balancer allows CloudFront to reach the ALB privately inside the VPC (instead of over the public internet). By using the ALB’s ARN as the VPC origin, the ALB can be kept non-public, which ensures users cannot access it directly and can reach it only through the CloudFront distribution.
