+Note that the `readTimeout` and `keepaliveTimeout` properties can extend their values over 60 seconds only if a limit increase request for CloudFront origin response timeout
 quota has been approved in the target account; otherwise, values over 60 seconds will produce an error at deploy time. Consider that this value is
 still limited to a maximum value of 180 seconds, which is a hard limit for that quota.
