Description

Creates an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution. A distribution is a globally distributed network of caching servers that improve the performance of your website or web application hosted on a Lightsail instance. For more information, see Content delivery networks in Amazon Lightsail.

Parameters

-BundleId <String>
The bundle ID to use for the distribution.A distribution bundle describes the specifications of your distribution, such as the monthly cost and monthly network transfer quota.Use the GetDistributionBundles action to get a list of distribution bundle IDs that you can specify.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-CacheBehavior <CacheBehaviorPerPath[]>
An array of objects that describe the per-path cache behavior for the distribution. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesCacheBehaviors
-CacheBehaviorSettings_AllowedHTTPMethod <String>
The HTTP methods that are processed and forwarded to the distribution's origin.You can specify the following options:
  • GET,HEAD - The distribution forwards the GET and HEAD methods.
  • GET,HEAD,OPTIONS - The distribution forwards the GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS methods.
  • GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE - The distribution forwards the GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, POST, and DELETE methods.
If you specify the third option, you might need to restrict access to your distribution's origin so users can't perform operations that you don't want them to. For example, you might not want users to have permission to delete objects from your origin.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesCacheBehaviorSettings_AllowedHTTPMethods
-CacheBehaviorSettings_CachedHTTPMethod <String>
The HTTP method responses that are cached by your distribution.You can specify the following options:

This behavior is ideal for websites with static content that doesn't change depending on who views it, or for websites that don't use cookies, headers, or query strings to personalize content.
  • dont-cache - This option is best for sites that serve a mix of static and dynamic content. When specified, your distribution caches and serve only the content that is specified in the distribution's CacheBehaviorPerPath parameter.
