CopyDistributionCommand
Creates a staging distribution using the configuration of the provided primary distribution. A staging distribution is a copy of an existing distribution (called the primary distribution) that you can use in a continuous deployment workflow.
After you create a staging distribution, you can use UpdateDistribution to modify the staging distribution's configuration. Then you can use CreateContinuousDeploymentPolicy to incrementally move traffic to the staging distribution.
This API operation requires the following IAM permissions:
