Disable CloudFront caching question.

Question

If I set the Minimum TTL, Maximum TTL, and Default TTL settings all to 0 in a cache policy in aws cloudfront, does that mean there is absolutely no way to cache? Or can it still be controlled by cache headers, cookies, another policy, or something else?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Yes, Setting Minimum TTL, Maximum TTL, and Default TTL all to 0 in a CloudFront cache policy effectively disables caching by default. However, the caching can still be controlled and influenced by Cache-Control headers, cookies, query strings, and other cache policies from the origin server.

Documentation about controlling cache using Cache-Control headers, cookies, and query strings: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/ConfiguringCaching.html
