Root Path Pattern

Question

How can I create a pattern only for the default page i.e. https://example.com or https://example.com/  
  
I created a path pattern /  
But everytime it just falls through to the default bucket. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Answer

Yes I did wait for it to propagate. But I figured out the issue if anyone else runs into this!  
  
 **Specify a Default Root Object** is the culprit. If you specify a default root object for your cloudfront distribution, that supersedes any path pattern you have, and I'm pretty sure immediately executes through the default bin. So if you have a lambda @ edge function for the default bin it will still call that one.  
  
What I did was _remove the default root object_, then in my Path Pattern '/' behavior, I redirected to '/index.html' (or whatever your default root object was) once I performed my needed functions in my lambda function. Hope this helps!

Answer

For just root, "/" should do it.  
  
Did you wait for it to fully propagate before testing with a cleared cached? Any CF changes can take 20+ minutes to take effect.
