CloudFront-Invalidator

A command line tool that invalidates the cahce of a web hosting CloudFront distribution by giving a S3 Bucket name.

Installing

install globally via npm:

npm i -g cloudfront-invalidator

Usage

This program will assume the AWS region to be defined as a global variable.

If the region is not defined as a global variable, then it will retrieve the region from the ~/.aws/credentials or the ~/.aws/config.

You can read more about how the aws-sdk handles the region here

Easiest way to switch/modify the region would be to set the AWS_REGION global variable

export AWS_REGION=<your region>
// example:
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

Examples:

cloudfront-invalidator -b [s3 bucket name]
