To update a distribution, you must use the ``--if-match`` option to provide the distribution's ``ETag``. To get the ``ETag``, use the `get-distribution <get-distribution.html>`_ or `get-distribution-config <get-distribution-config.html>`_ command. Note that the ``Enabled`` field is set to ``false`` in the JSON file. After you use the following example to disable a distribution, you can use the `delete-distribution <delete-distribution.html>`_ command to delete it. :: aws cloudfront update-distribution \ --id EMLARXS9EXAMPLE \ --if-match E2QWRUHEXAMPLE \ --distribution-config file://dist-config-disable.json Contents of ``dist-config-disable.json``:: { "CallerReference": "cli-1574382155-496510", "Aliases": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultRootObject": "index.html", "Origins": { "Quantity": 1, "Items": [ { "Id": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com-1574382155-273939", "DomainName": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com", "OriginPath": "", "CustomHeaders": { "Quantity": 0 }, "S3OriginConfig": { "OriginAccessIdentity": "" } } ] }, "OriginGroups": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultCacheBehavior": { "TargetOriginId": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com-1574382155-273939", "ForwardedValues": { "QueryString": false, "Cookies": { "Forward": "none" }, "Headers": { "Quantity": 0 }, "QueryStringCacheKeys": { "Quantity": 0 } }, "TrustedSigners": { "Enabled": false, "Quantity": 0 }, "ViewerProtocolPolicy": "allow-all", "MinTTL": 0, "AllowedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ], "CachedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ] } }, "SmoothStreaming": false, "DefaultTTL": 86400, "MaxTTL": 31536000, "Compress": false, "LambdaFunctionAssociations": { "Quantity": 0 }, "FieldLevelEncryptionId": "" }, "CacheBehaviors": { "Quantity": 0 }, "CustomErrorResponses": { "Quantity": 0 }, "Comment": "", "Logging": { "Enabled": false, "IncludeCookies": false, "Bucket": "", "Prefix": "" }, "PriceClass": "PriceClass_All", "Enabled": false, "ViewerCertificate": { "CloudFrontDefaultCertificate": true, "MinimumProtocolVersion": "TLSv1", "CertificateSource": "cloudfront" }, "Restrictions": { "GeoRestriction": { "RestrictionType": "none", "Quantity": 0 } }, "WebACLId": "", "HttpVersion": "http2", "IsIPV6Enabled": true } Output:: { "ETag": "E9LHASXEXAMPLE", "Distribution": { "Id": "EMLARXS9EXAMPLE", "ARN": "arn:aws:cloudfront::123456789012:distribution/EMLARXS9EXAMPLE", "Status": "InProgress", "LastModifiedTime": "2019-12-06T18:32:35.553Z", "InProgressInvalidationBatches": 0, "DomainName": "d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net", "ActiveTrustedSigners": { "Enabled": false, "Quantity": 0 }, "DistributionConfig": { "CallerReference": "cli-1574382155-496510", "Aliases": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultRootObject": "index.html", "Origins": { "Quantity": 1, "Items": [ { "Id": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com-1574382155-273939", "DomainName": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com", "OriginPath": "", "CustomHeaders": { "Quantity": 0 }, "S3OriginConfig": { "OriginAccessIdentity": "" } } ] }, "OriginGroups": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultCacheBehavior": { "TargetOriginId": "amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com-1574382155-273939", "ForwardedValues": { "QueryString": false, "Cookies": { "Forward": "none" }, "Headers": { "Quantity": 0 }, "QueryStringCacheKeys": { "Quantity": 0 } }, "TrustedSigners": { "Enabled": false, "Quantity": 0 }, "ViewerProtocolPolicy": "allow-all", "MinTTL": 0, "AllowedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ], "CachedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ] } }, "SmoothStreaming": false, "DefaultTTL": 86400, "MaxTTL": 31536000, "Compress": false, "LambdaFunctionAssociations": { "Quantity": 0 }, "FieldLevelEncryptionId": "" }, "CacheBehaviors": { "Quantity": 0 }, "CustomErrorResponses": { "Quantity": 0 }, "Comment": "", "Logging": { "Enabled": false, "IncludeCookies": false, "Bucket": "", "Prefix": "" }, "PriceClass": "PriceClass_All", "Enabled": false, "ViewerCertificate": { "CloudFrontDefaultCertificate": true, "MinimumProtocolVersion": "TLSv1", "CertificateSource": "cloudfront" }, "Restrictions": { "GeoRestriction": { "RestrictionType": "none", "Quantity": 0 } }, "WebACLId": "", "HttpVersion": "http2", "IsIPV6Enabled": true } } }
