Deploy to AWS S3 / Purge CDN with CloudFront

With Buddy, you can deploy data to the AWS Simple Storage Service using a dedicated AWS S3 Transfer action. You can also add the CloudFront action to clear the cache upon the deployment.

2. The action has five configuration tabs:

• Transfer – here you define the source path, deployment flags and content encoding, tag objects, and files to ignore
• Target – here you select the AWS integration and the bucket to which you want to deploy
• Variables – here you can view your AWS integration variables, and create your own if required
• Conditions – here you configure the trigger conditions for which the action will run
• Options – here you define the action's name and behavior on failure and timeout
