cloudfront_invalidator

This simple python script will invalidate AWS cloudfront cache for a given distro ID. Intended for use with travis-ci, but should be easily adaptable to other circumstances.

Setup

Requires boto: pip install boto

Change the placeholders <replace with cloudfront distro id> in the file invalidator.py to reflect your distro ids.

Example usage in a travis.yml:

after_deploy:
- pip install --user boto
- python invalidator.py -a $AWS_ACCESS_KEY -s $AWS_SECRET_KEY -b $TRAVIS_BRANCH

In the above example, one is required to set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY environment variables. TRAVIS_BRANCH is always available.
