All geek questions in one place

If I delete all files in my Amazon s3 recycle bin, will it clear the cloud?

I serve all my static content from Cloudfront through my S3 bucket.

If I delete everything in my S3 bucket, will this clear the CloudFront cache? Or, since I set cache control in a very distant future, does CloudFront not even check anything in S3?

Is there an easy way to clear my entire CloudFront cache? I just found out about caching and, without hesitation, assigned ALL headers related to the cache for a year in the future. I know that I can change the file names in my HTML to get around this, and I can also invalidate the files one by one, but at the moment I have a large number of files and I will like the easy way to do this through the whiteboard.

If you want to remove ALL content from your CloudFront distribution, the easiest way is to disable it, then completely remove the distribution, and then start with a new empty distribution.

You can disconnect and delete an existing distribution using the AWS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/

If you have a large distribution and you want to remove SOME of the objects, then your best bet is the Object Invalidation mentioned by cloudberryman.

Enjoy it!
