AWS CLI commands that I use frequently

Specify the region and credentials as required

• CloudFront distribution ID for a custom domain

  aws cloudfront list-distributions --query "DistributionList.Items[?contains(`Aliases.Items[0]`, '<domainname>')].Id" --output text

• Create a CloudFront invalidation

  aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id <distribution-id> --paths "/*"
