Force CloudFront distribution/file update

Question

I\'m using Amazon\'s CloudFront to serve static files of my web apps.

Is there no way to tell a cloudfront distribution that it needs to refresh it\'s file or point

Answer 1

Bucket Explorer has a UI that makes this pretty easy now. Here's how:

Right click your bucket. Select "Manage Distributions."
Right click your distribution. Select "Get Cloudfront invalidation list" Then select "Create" to create a new invalidation list. Select the files to invalidate, and click "Invalidate." Wait 5-15 minutes.
