Invalidate CloudFront distribution cache to serve updated content.

YAML parameters for CloudFront

PARAMETERS
integrationrequiredstring
AWS integration identifier for authentication. It refers to an integration in the workspace by its identifier, not by its display name.
distribution_idrequiredstring
CloudFront distribution ID.
typerequiredstring

Value: CLOUD_FRONT

actionrequiredstring
Unique identifier for the action within the pipeline.
base_urlstring
Path prefix to invalidate when purge_all is true, e.g. /static invalidates /static/* instead of the whole distribution.
purge_allboolean
If set to true, all cached content will be purged. When false, the action purges the objects listed in the definition, or - if no list is given - the files from the changeset. Purging the changeset needs a pipeline with refs; in a pipeline without refs set purge_all: true or list the objects to purge
purge_by_change_set_limitinteger
The maximum number of objects to purge one by one. Above this limit the whole cache is purged instead
local_pathstring
The path to the local files to invalidate
deployment_excludesstring[]
The list of files or directories to exclude from cache invalidation
deployment_includesstring[]
The list of files or directories to include in cache invalidation
pathsstring[]
The fixed list of paths to invalidate. The changeset is not computed when the list is set, so the pipeline needs no refs
input_typestring enum
The source of files to invalidate. Required only when purging by changeset, that is when purge_all is false and no objects to purge are given
Allowed enum:
SCM_REPOSITORY,
BUILD_ARTIFACTS
trigger_timestring enum
Specifies when the action should be executed.
Allowed enum:
ON_EVERY_EXECUTION,
ON_FAILURE,
ON_BACK_TO_SUCCESS,
ON_WARNING,
ON_WAIT_FOR_APPROVE,
ON_TERMINATE
loopstring[]
The list of variables for dynamic action execution. The action runs once for each value.
run_only_on_first_failureboolean
When true, the action runs only on the first failure instead of on each failure. Used only when trigger_time is ON_FAILURE.
disabledboolean
When set to true the action is disabled. By default it is set to false.
timeoutinteger
The timeout in seconds. It cannot exceed the action time limit of the workspace plan; a higher value is rejected.
ignore_errorsboolean
If set to true the execution will proceed, mark action as a warning and jump to the next action. Doesn't apply to deployment actions.
retry_intervalinteger
Delay time between auto retries in seconds.
retry_countinteger
Number of retries if the action fails.

Constraints: ≤ 10

run_nextstring enum
Defines whether the action should run in parallel with the next one.
Allowed enum:
WAIT_ON_SUCCESS,
IN_SOFT_PARALLEL,
IN_HARD_PARALLEL
trigger_conditionsTriggerConditionYaml[]
The list of trigger conditions to meet so that the action can be triggered.
variablesVariableYaml[]
The list of variables you can use in the action.
