AWS CloudFront Invalidation for Specific Routes with S3 Origin

0

Hello Team,

I am extremely interested in learning how AWS CloudFront manages invalidations for the S3 origin with multiple routes. I have a website called "myproject.com" that is served by CloudFront and contains a large number of CSS and JS files only in the folder called "myproject." Numerous paths are available, including "myproject.com/order/payment/," "myproject.com/users/login/," and "myproject.com/documentation/contact/."

If I modify the login or user-related files, I typically use "/myproject.com/" to invalidate the cache for the entire website whenever I make changes to any file. I am unsure of the invalidation strategy, though, for changes that are more targeted, such as those in "/myproject.com/order/payment" or "/myproject/order/." Can I individually invalidate these routes using "/myproject.com/order/payment/" and "/myproject.com/order/*," or does AWS CloudFront only invalidate the S3 objects without taking the specific URLs into account?

Thanks Rishabh

Hi, yes you can provide different invalidation rules, check this out: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Invalidation.html and it’s examples as you can combine them in multiple lines in the text area of the invalidation rules section.

    Thanks, Antonio for your comment. So that means, Instead of invalidating my entire project every time, I can simply invalidate the path that needs to be invalidated.
