This FAQ will show how you can invalidate assets from your CloudFront distribution.

CloudFront is a global AWS managed Content-Delivery-Network (CDN). Invalidation of a CloudFront asset forces TTL to be timeout immediately. This causes fresh origin request for next CloudFront request for a specific asset (static file, html content).


Preconditions

1) List cloudfront endpoints and origin

You need to identify your Cloudfront endpoint id.

Code Block
cfadmin ls
 
#Output

---------------------------------#List Cloudfront endpoints und origin
cfadmin invalidate origin.DOMAIN.TLD  /PATH/*----------------------------------------------
Deployed     xxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net                      <CustomOrigin: origin.DOMAIN.TLD >
             CNAME => www.DOMAIN.TLD
             CNAME => DOMAIN.TLD
 
Streaming Distributions
Status       Domain Name                                        Origin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Invalidate a specific path

Invalidation are URL based and can be placed using wildcards * or for specific path. e.g.

Code Block
#List Cloudfront endpoints und origin
cfadmin invalidate origin.DOMAIN.TLD  /PATH/*
