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

Just posting to inform anyone visiting this page (first result on 'Cloudfront File Refresh') that there is an easy-to-use+access online invalidator available at swook.net

This new invalidator is:

• Fully online (no installation)
• Available 24x7 (hosted by Google) and does not require any memberships.
• There is history support, and path checking to let you invalidate your files with ease. (Often with just a few clicks after invalidating for the first time!)
• It's also very secure, as you'll find out when reading its release post.

Full disclosure: I made this. Have fun!
