The following code examples show how to use CreateInvalidation
.
- AWS CLI
-
To create an invalidation for a CloudFront distribution
The following
create-invalidation
example creates an invalidation for the specified files in the specified CloudFront distribution:aws cloudfront create-invalidation \ --distribution-id
EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE
\ --paths"/example-path/example-file.jpg"
"/example-path/example-file2.png"
Output:
{ "Location": "https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2019-03-26/distribution/EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE/invalidation/I1JLWSDAP8FU89", "Invalidation": { "Id": "I1JLWSDAP8FU89", "Status": "InProgress", "CreateTime": "2019-12-05T18:24:51.407Z", "InvalidationBatch": { "Paths": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "/example-path/example-file2.png", "/example-path/example-file.jpg" ] }, "CallerReference": "cli-1575570291-670203" } } }
In the previous example, the AWS CLI automatically generated a random
CallerReference
. To specify your ownCallerReference
, or to avoid passing the invalidation parameters as command line arguments, you can use a JSON file. The following example creates an invalidation for two files, by providing the invalidation parameters in a JSON file namedinv-batch.json
:aws cloudfront create-invalidation \ --distribution-id
EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE
\ --invalidation-batchfile://inv-batch.json
Contents of
inv-batch.json
:{ "Paths": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "/example-path/example-file.jpg", "/example-path/example-file2.png" ] }, "CallerReference": "cli-example" }
Output:
{ "Location": "https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2019-03-26/distribution/EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE/invalidation/I2J0I21PCUYOIK", "Invalidation": { "Id": "I2J0I21PCUYOIK", "Status": "InProgress", "CreateTime": "2019-12-05T18:40:49.413Z", "InvalidationBatch": { "Paths": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "/example-path/example-file.jpg", "/example-path/example-file2.png" ] }, "CallerReference": "cli-example" } } }
