get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config

Description

Get the configuration information about an origin access identity.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config
--id <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--id (string)

The identity's ID.

--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.

--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.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To get a CloudFront origin access identity configuration

The following example gets metadata about the CloudFront origin access identity (OAI) with the ID E74FTE3AEXAMPLE, including its ETag. The OAI ID is returned in the output of the create-cloud-front-origin-access-identity and list-cloud-front-origin-access-identities commands.

aws cloudfront get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config --id E74FTE3AEXAMPLE

Output:

{
    "ETag": "E2QWRUHEXAMPLE",
    "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig": {
        "CallerReference": "cli-example",
        "Comment": "Example OAI"
    }
}

Output

CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig -> (structure)

The origin access identity's configuration information.

CallerReference -> (string)

A unique value (for example, a date-time stamp) that ensures that the request can't be replayed.

If the value of CallerReference is new (regardless of the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig object), a new origin access identity is created.

If the CallerReference is a value already sent in a previous identity request, and the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is identical to the original request (ignoring white space), the response includes the same information returned to the original request.

If the CallerReference is a value you already sent in a previous request to create an identity, but the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is different from the original request, CloudFront returns a CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityAlreadyExists error.

Comment -> (string)

A comment to describe the origin access identity. The comment cannot be longer than 128 characters.

ETag -> (string)

The current version of the configuration. For example: E2QWRUHAPOMQZL .
