I'm trying to figure out how to leverage the CloudFront-Viewer-Country header to customize responses for specific countries. I'm feeling stuck because the documentation isn't very clear. Here's my situation:
- I can't see the header during the viewer request despite making adjustments to my cache and origin policies.
- I can see it on the origin request, but at that point, it's too late to change the cache key.
My goal is to set up just two caches: one for country A and another for the rest of the world. I don't want to end up creating separate caches for each country. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing or the best approach to achieve this?

Setting up your caches this way might be a bit tricky with CloudFront since there isn’t really a separate cache for users by country. Can you clarify what you want to achieve?
I meant that I want to only differentiate between country A and the rest of the world, so I don't want a cache for every individual country. Adding CloudFront-Viewer-Country to the cache key feels like it would just over-complicate things.
