List CloudFront distributions.
See also: AWS API Documentation
list-distributions
is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate
argument.
When using --output text
and the --query
argument on a paginated response, the --query
argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: DistributionList.Items
list-distributions
[--max-items <value>]
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--debug]
[--endpoint-url <value>]
[--no-verify-ssl]
[--no-paginate]
[--output <value>]
[--query <value>]
[--profile <value>]
[--region <value>]
[--version <value>]
[--color <value>]
[--no-sign-request]
[--ca-bundle <value>]
[--cli-read-timeout <value>]
[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]
--max-items
(string)
The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a
NextToken
is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide theNextToken
value in thestarting-token
argument of a subsequent command. Do not use theNextToken
response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--starting-token
(string)
A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the
NextToken
from a previously truncated response.For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--page-size
(string)
The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

(structure)
An origin.
An origin is the location where content is stored, and from which CloudFront gets content to serve to viewers. To specify an origin:
- Use
S3OriginConfig
to specify an Amazon S3 bucket that is not configured with static website hosting.- Use
CustomOriginConfig
to specify all other kinds of origins, including:
- An Amazon S3 bucket that is configured with static website hosting
- An Elastic Load Balancing load balancer
- An Elemental MediaPackage endpoint
- An Elemental MediaStore container
- Any other HTTP server, running on an Amazon EC2 instance or any other kind of host
For the current maximum number of origins that you can specify per distribution, see General Quotas on Web Distributions in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide (quotas were formerly referred to as limits).

Note
If you're using origin access control (OAC) instead of origin access identity, specify an emptyOriginAccessIdentity
element. For more information, see Restricting access to an Amazon Web Services in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .The CloudFront origin access identity to associate with the origin. Use an origin access identity to configure the origin so that viewers can only access objects in an Amazon S3 bucket through CloudFront. The format of the value is:
origin-access-identity/cloudfront/ID-of-origin-access-identity
The `` ID-of-origin-access-identity `` is the value that CloudFront returned in the
ID
element when you created the origin access identity.If you want viewers to be able to access objects using either the CloudFront URL or the Amazon S3 URL, specify an empty
OriginAccessIdentity
element.To delete the origin access identity from an existing distribution, update the distribution configuration and include an empty
OriginAccessIdentity
element.To replace the origin access identity, update the distribution configuration and specify the new origin access identity.
For more information about the origin access identity, see Serving Private Content through CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
CustomOriginConfig -> (structure)
Use this type to specify an origin that is not an Amazon S3 bucket, with one exception. If the Amazon S3 bucket is configured with static website hosting, use this type. If the Amazon S3 bucket is not configured with static website hosting, use the
S3OriginConfig
type instead.HTTPPort -> (integer)

For more information, see Origin Response Timeout in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
OriginKeepaliveTimeout -> (integer)
Specifies how long, in seconds, CloudFront persists its connection to the origin. The minimum timeout is 1 second, the maximum is 60 seconds, and the default (if you don't specify otherwise) is 5 seconds.
For more information, see Origin Keep-alive Timeout in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
ConnectionAttempts -> (integer)
The number of times that CloudFront attempts to connect to the origin. The minimum number is 1, the maximum is 3, and the default (if you don't specify otherwise) is 3.
For a custom origin (including an Amazon S3 bucket that's configured with static website hosting), this value also specifies the number of times that CloudFront attempts to get a response from the origin, in the case of an Origin Response Timeout .
For more information, see Origin Connection Attempts in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
ConnectionTimeout -> (integer)
The number of seconds that CloudFront waits when trying to establish a connection to the origin. The minimum timeout is 1 second, the maximum is 10 seconds, and the default (if you don't specify otherwise) is 10 seconds.
For more information, see Origin Connection Timeout in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
OriginShield -> (structure)
CloudFront Origin Shield. Using Origin Shield can help reduce the load on your origin.
For more information, see Using Origin Shield in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Enabled -> (boolean)
A flag that specifies whether Origin Shield is enabled.
When it's enabled, CloudFront routes all requests through Origin Shield, which can help protect your origin. When it's disabled, CloudFront might send requests directly to your origin from multiple edge locations or regional edge caches.

The number of origin groups.Items -> (list)
The items (origin groups) in a distribution.
(structure)
An origin group includes two origins (a primary origin and a second origin to failover to) and a failover criteria that you specify. You create an origin group to support origin failover in CloudFront. When you create or update a distribution, you can specify the origin group instead of a single origin, and CloudFront will failover from the primary origin to the second origin under the failover conditions that you've chosen.
Id -> (string)
The origin group's ID.FailoverCriteria -> (structure)
A complex type that contains information about the failover criteria for an origin group.

for the origin that you want CloudFront to route requests to when they use the default cache behavior.TrustedSigners -> (structure)
Warning
We recommend usingTrustedKeyGroups
instead ofTrustedSigners
.A list of Amazon Web Services account IDs whose public keys CloudFront can use to validate signed URLs or signed cookies.
When a cache behavior contains trusted signers, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with the private key of a CloudFront key pair in a trusted signer's Amazon Web Services account. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Enabled -> (boolean)
This field istrue
if any of the Amazon Web Services accounts in the list are configured as trusted signers. If not, this field isfalse
.Quantity -> (integer)
The number of Amazon Web Services accounts in the list.Items -> (list)
A list of Amazon Web Services account identifiers.
(string)
TrustedKeyGroups -> (structure)
A list of key groups that CloudFront can use to validate signed URLs or signed cookies.
When a cache behavior contains trusted key groups, CloudFront requires signed URLs or signed cookies for all requests that match the cache behavior. The URLs or cookies must be signed with a private key whose corresponding public key is in the key group. The signed URL or cookie contains information about which public key CloudFront should use to verify the signature. For more information, see Serving private content in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Enabled -> (boolean)
This field istrue
if any of the key groups in the list have public keys that CloudFront can use to verify the signatures of signed URLs and signed cookies. If not, this field isfalse
.Quantity -> (integer)
The number of key groups in the list.Items -> (list)
A list of key groups identifiers.
(string)
ViewerProtocolPolicy -> (string)
The protocol that viewers can use to access the files in the origin specified by
TargetOriginId
when a request matches the path pattern inPathPattern
. You can specify the following options:
allow-all
: Viewers can use HTTP or HTTPS.redirect-to-https
: If a viewer submits an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 301 (Moved Permanently) to the viewer along with the HTTPS URL. The viewer then resubmits the request using the new URL.https-only
: If a viewer sends an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 403 (Forbidden).For more information about requiring the HTTPS protocol, see Requiring HTTPS Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
The only way to guarantee that viewers retrieve an object that was fetched from the origin using HTTPS is never to use any other protocol to fetch the object. If you have recently changed from HTTP to HTTPS, we recommend that you clear your objects' cache because cached objects are protocol agnostic. That means that an edge location will return an object from the cache regardless of whether the current request protocol matches the protocol used previously. For more information, see Managing Cache Expiration in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .AllowedMethods -> (structure)
A complex type that controls which HTTP methods CloudFront processes and forwards to your Amazon S3 bucket or your custom origin. There are three choices:
- CloudFront forwards only
GET
andHEAD
requests.- CloudFront forwards only
GET
,HEAD
, andOPTIONS
requests.- CloudFront forwards
GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, POST
, andDELETE
requests.If you pick the third choice, you may need to restrict access to your Amazon S3 bucket or to your custom origin so users can't perform operations that you don't want them to. For example, you might not want users to have permissions to delete objects from your origin.
Quantity -> (integer)
The number of HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to forward to your origin. Valid values are 2 (forGET
andHEAD
requests), 3 (forGET
,HEAD
, andOPTIONS
requests) and 7 (forGET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, POST
, andDELETE
requests).Items -> (list)
A complex type that contains the HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to process and forward to your origin.
(string)
CachedMethods -> (structure)
A complex type that controls whether CloudFront caches the response to requests using the specified HTTP methods. There are two choices:
- CloudFront caches responses to
GET
andHEAD
requests.- CloudFront caches responses to
GET
,HEAD
, andOPTIONS
requests.If you pick the second choice for your Amazon S3 Origin, you may need to forward Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers, and Origin headers for the responses to be cached correctly.
Quantity -> (integer)
The number of HTTP methods for which you want CloudFront to cache responses. Valid values are2
(for caching responses toGET
andHEAD
requests) and3
(for caching responses toGET
,HEAD
, andOPTIONS
requests).Items -> (list)
A complex type that contains the HTTP methods that you want CloudFront to cache responses to. Valid values for
CachedMethods
includeGET
,HEAD
, andOPTIONS
, depending on which caching option you choose. For more information, see the preceding section.(string)
SmoothStreaming -> (boolean)
Indicates whether you want to distribute media files in the Microsoft Smooth Streaming format using the origin that is associated with this cache behavior. If so, specifytrue
; if not, specifyfalse
. If you specifytrue
forSmoothStreaming
, you can still distribute other content using this cache behavior if the content matches the value ofPathPattern

.(structure)
A complex type that describes how CloudFront processes requests.
You must create at least as many cache behaviors (including the default cache behavior) as you have origins if you want CloudFront to serve objects from all of the origins. Each cache behavior specifies the one origin from which you want CloudFront to get objects. If you have two origins and only the default cache behavior, the default cache behavior will cause CloudFront to get objects from one of the origins, but the other origin is never used.
For the current quota (formerly known as limit) on the number of cache behaviors that you can add to a distribution, see Quotas in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
If you don't want to specify any cache behaviors, include only an empty
CacheBehaviors
element. Don't specify an empty individualCacheBehavior
element, because this is invalid. For more information, see CacheBehaviors .To delete all cache behaviors in an existing distribution, update the distribution configuration and include only an empty
CacheBehaviors
element.To add, change, or remove one or more cache behaviors, update the distribution configuration and specify all of the cache behaviors that you want to include in the updated distribution.
For more information about cache behaviors, see Cache Behavior Settings in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
PathPattern -> (string)

You can optionally include a slash (/
) at the beginning of the path pattern. For example,/images/*.jpg
. CloudFront behavior is the same with or without the leading/
.The path pattern for the default cache behavior is

(string)
ViewerProtocolPolicy -> (string)
The protocol that viewers can use to access the files in the origin specified by
TargetOriginId
when a request matches the path pattern inPathPattern
. You can specify the following options:
allow-all
: Viewers can use HTTP or HTTPS.redirect-to-https
: If a viewer submits an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 301 (Moved Permanently) to the viewer along with the HTTPS URL. The viewer then resubmits the request using the new URL.https-only
: If a viewer sends an HTTP request, CloudFront returns an HTTP status code of 403 (Forbidden).For more information about requiring the HTTPS protocol, see Requiring HTTPS Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
The only way to guarantee that viewers retrieve an object that was fetched from the origin using HTTPS is never to use any other protocol to fetch the object. If you have recently changed from HTTP to HTTPS, we recommend that you clear your objects' cache because cached objects are protocol agnostic. That means that an edge location will return an object from the cache regardless of whether the current request protocol matches the protocol used previously. For more information, see Managing Cache Expiration in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .AllowedMethods -> (structure)

. If you want to store your objects and your custom error pages in different locations, your distribution must include a cache behavior for which the following is true:
- The value of
PathPattern
matches the path to your custom error messages. For example, suppose you saved custom error pages for 4xx errors in an Amazon S3 bucket in a directory named/4xx-errors
. Your distribution must include a cache behavior for which the path pattern routes requests for your custom error pages to that location, for example,/4xx-errors/*
.- The value of
TargetOriginId
specifies the value of theID
element for the origin that contains your custom error pages.If you specify a value for
ResponsePagePath
, you must also specify a value forResponseCode
.We recommend that you store custom error pages in an Amazon S3 bucket. If you store custom error pages on an HTTP server and the server starts to return 5xx errors, CloudFront can't get the files that you want to return to viewers because the origin server is unavailable.
ResponseCode -> (string)
The HTTP status code that you want CloudFront to return to the viewer along with the custom error page. There are a variety of reasons that you might want CloudFront to return a status code different from the status code that your origin returned to CloudFront, for example:
- Some Internet devices (some firewalls and corporate proxies, for example) intercept HTTP 4xx and 5xx and prevent the response from being returned to the viewer. If you substitute
200
, the response typically won't be intercepted.- If you don't care about distinguishing among different client errors or server errors, you can specify
400
or500
as theResponseCode
for all 4xx or 5xx errors.- You might want to return a
200
status code (OK) and static website so your customers don't know that your website is down.If you specify a value for
ResponseCode
, you must also specify a value forResponsePagePath
.ErrorCachingMinTTL -> (long)
The minimum amount of time, in seconds, that you want CloudFront to cache the HTTP status code specified in
ErrorCode
. When this time period has elapsed, CloudFront queries your origin to see whether the problem that caused the error has been resolved and the requested object is now available.For more information, see Customizing Error Responses in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Comment -> (string)
The comment originally specified when this distribution was created.PriceClass -> (string)
A complex type that contains information about price class for this streaming distribution.Enabled -> (boolean)
Whether the distribution is enabled to accept user requests for content.ViewerCertificate -> (structure)
A complex type that determines the distribution's SSL/TLS configuration for communicating with viewers.
CloudFrontDefaultCertificate -> (boolean)
If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as
d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
, set this field totrue
.If the distribution uses
Aliases
(alternate domain names or CNAMEs), set this field tofalse
and specify values for the following fields:
ACMCertificateArn
orIAMCertificateId
(specify a value for one, not both)MinimumProtocolVersion
SSLSupportMethod
IAMCertificateId -> (string)
If the distribution uses
Aliases
(alternate domain names or CNAMEs) and the SSL/TLS certificate is stored in Identity and Access Management (IAM) , provide the ID of the IAM certificate.If you specify an IAM certificate ID, you must also specify values for
MinimumProtocolVersion
andSSLSupportMethod
.ACMCertificateArn -> (string)
If the distribution uses
Aliases
(alternate domain names or CNAMEs) and the SSL/TLS certificate is stored in Certificate Manager (ACM) , provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the ACM certificate. CloudFront only supports ACM certificates in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (us-east-1
).If you specify an ACM certificate ARN, you must also specify values for
MinimumProtocolVersion
andSSLSupportMethod
.SSLSupportMethod -> (string)
If the distribution uses
Aliases
(alternate domain names or CNAMEs), specify which viewers the distribution accepts HTTPS connections from.
sni-only
– The distribution accepts HTTPS connections from only viewers that support server name indication (SNI) . This is recommended. Most browsers and clients support SNI.vip
– The distribution accepts HTTPS connections from all viewers including those that don't support SNI. This is not recommended, and results in additional monthly charges from CloudFront.static-ip
- Do not specify this value unless your distribution has been enabled for this feature by the CloudFront team. If you have a use case that requires static IP addresses for a distribution, contact CloudFront through the Amazon Web Services Support Center .If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as
d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
, don't set a value for this field.MinimumProtocolVersion -> (string)
If the distribution uses
Aliases
(alternate domain names or CNAMEs), specify the security policy that you want CloudFront to use for HTTPS connections with viewers. The security policy determines two settings:
- The minimum SSL/TLS protocol that CloudFront can use to communicate with viewers.
- The ciphers that CloudFront can use to encrypt the content that it returns to viewers.
For more information, see Security Policy and Supported Protocols and Ciphers Between Viewers and CloudFront in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide .
Note
On the CloudFront console, this setting is called Security Policy .When you're using SNI only (you set
SSLSupportMethod
tosni-only
), you must specifyTLSv1
or higher.If the distribution uses the CloudFront domain name such as
d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net
(you setCloudFrontDefaultCertificate
totrue
), CloudFront automatically sets the security policy toTLSv1
regardless of the value that you set here.Certificate -> (string)
This field is deprecated. Use one of the following fields instead:
ACMCertificateArn
IAMCertificateId
CloudFrontDefaultCertificate
CertificateSource -> (string)
This field is deprecated. Use one of the following fields instead:
ACMCertificateArn
IAMCertificateId
CloudFrontDefaultCertificate
Restrictions -> (structure)
A complex type that identifies ways in which you want to restrict distribution of your content.
GeoRestriction -> (structure)
A complex type that controls the countries in which your content is distributed. CloudFront determines the location of your users using
MaxMind
GeoIP databases.RestrictionType -> (string)
The method that you want to use to restrict distribution of your content by country:
none
: No geo restriction is enabled, meaning access to content is not restricted by client geo location.blacklist
: TheLocation
elements specify the countries in which you don't want CloudFront to distribute your content.whitelist
: TheLocation
elements specify the countries in which you want CloudFront to distribute your content.Quantity -> (integer)
When geo restriction isenabled
, this is the number of countries in yourwhitelist
orblacklist
. Otherwise, when it is not enabled,Quantity
is0
, and you can omitItems
.Items -> (list)
A complex type that contains a
Location
element for each country in which you want CloudFront either to distribute your content (whitelist
) or not distribute your content (blacklist
).The
Location
element is a two-letter, uppercase country code for a country that you want to include in yourblacklist
orwhitelist
. Include oneLocation
element for each country.CloudFront and
MaxMind
both useISO 3166
country codes. For the current list of countries and the corresponding codes, seeISO 3166-1-alpha-2
code on the International Organization for Standardization website. You can also refer to the country list on the CloudFront console, which includes both country names and codes.(string)
WebACLId -> (string)
The Web ACL Id (if any) associated with the distribution.HttpVersion -> (string)
Specify the maximum HTTP version that you want viewers to use to communicate with CloudFront. The default value for new web distributions ishttp2
. Viewers that don't supportHTTP/2
will automatically use an earlier version.IsIPV6Enabled -> (boolean)
Whether CloudFront responds to IPv6 DNS requests with an IPv6 address for your distribution.AliasICPRecordals -> (list)
Amazon Web Services services in China customers must file for an Internet Content Provider (ICP) recordal if they want to serve content publicly on an alternate domain name, also known as a CNAME, that they've added to CloudFront. AliasICPRecordal provides the ICP recordal status for CNAMEs associated with distributions.
For more information about ICP recordals, see Signup, Accounts, and Credentials in Getting Started with Amazon Web Services services in China .
(structure)
Amazon Web Services services in China customers must file for an Internet Content Provider (ICP) recordal if they want to serve content publicly on an alternate domain name, also known as a CNAME, that they've added to CloudFront. AliasICPRecordal provides the ICP recordal status for CNAMEs associated with distributions. The status is returned in the CloudFront response; you can't configure it yourself.
For more information about ICP recordals, see Signup, Accounts, and Credentials in Getting Started with Amazon Web Services services in China .
CNAME -> (string)
A domain name associated with a distribution.ICPRecordalStatus -> (string)
The Internet Content Provider (ICP) recordal status for a CNAME. The ICPRecordalStatus is set to APPROVED for all CNAMEs (aliases) in regions outside of China.
The status values returned are the following:
- APPROVED indicates that the associated CNAME has a valid ICP recordal number. Multiple CNAMEs can be associated with a distribution, and CNAMEs can correspond to different ICP recordals. To be marked as APPROVED, that is, valid to use with China region, a CNAME must have one ICP recordal number associated with it.
- SUSPENDED indicates that the associated CNAME does not have a valid ICP recordal number.
- PENDING indicates that CloudFront can't determine the ICP recordal status of the CNAME associated with the distribution because there was an error in trying to determine the status. You can try again to see if the error is resolved in which case CloudFront returns an APPROVED or SUSPENDED status.
Staging -> (boolean)
A Boolean that indicates whether this is a staging distribution. When this value istrue
, this is a staging distribution. When this value isfalse
, this is not a staging distribution.
