update-cloud-front-origin-access-identity

Description

Update an origin access identity.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  update-cloud-front-origin-access-identity
--cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config <value>
--id <value>
[--if-match <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config (structure)

The identity’s configuration information.

CallerReference -> (string)

A unique value (for example, a date-time stamp) that ensures that the request can’t be replayed.

If the value of CallerReference is new (regardless of the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig object), a new origin access identity is created.

If the CallerReference is a value already sent in a previous identity request, and the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is identical to the original request (ignoring white space), the response includes the same information returned to the original request.

If the CallerReference is a value you already sent in a previous request to create an identity, but the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is different from the original request, CloudFront returns a CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityAlreadyExists error.

Comment -> (string)

Any comments you want to include about the origin access identity.

Shorthand Syntax:

CallerReference=string,Comment=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "CallerReference": "string",
  "Comment": "string"
}

--id (string)

The identity’s id.

--if-match (string)

The value of the ETag header that you received when retrieving the identity’s configuration. For example: E2QWRUHAPOMQZL .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To update a CloudFront origin access identity

The following example updates the origin access identity (OAI) with the ID E74FTE3AEXAMPLE. The only field that you can update is the OAI’s Comment.

To update an OAI, you must have the OAI’s ID and ETag. The OAI ID is returned in the output of the create-cloud-front-origin-access-identity and list-cloud-front-origin-access-identities commands. To get the ETag, use the get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity or get-cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config command. Use the --if-match option to provide the OAI’s ETag.

aws cloudfront update-cloud-front-origin-access-identity \
    --id E74FTE3AEXAMPLE \
    --if-match E2QWRUHEXAMPLE \
    --cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config \
        CallerReference=cli-example,Comment="Example OAI Updated"

You can accomplish the same thing by providing the OAI configuration in a JSON file, as shown in the following example:

aws cloudfront update-cloud-front-origin-access-identity \
    --id E74FTE3AEXAMPLE \
    --if-match E2QWRUHEXAMPLE \
    --cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config file://OAI-config.json

The file OAI-config.json is a JSON document in the current directory that contains the following:

{
    "CallerReference": "cli-example",
    "Comment": "Example OAI Updated"
}

Whether you provide the OAI configuration with a command line argument or a JSON file, the output is the same:

{
    "ETag": "E9LHASXEXAMPLE",
    "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity": {
        "Id": "E74FTE3AEXAMPLE",
        "S3CanonicalUserId": "cd13868f797c227fbea2830611a26fe0a21ba1b826ab4bed9b7771c9aEXAMPLE",
        "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig": {
            "CallerReference": "cli-example",
            "Comment": "Example OAI Updated"
        }
    }
}

Output

CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity -> (structure)

The origin access identity’s information.

Id -> (string)

The ID for the origin access identity, for example, E74FTE3AJFJ256A .

S3CanonicalUserId -> (string)

The Amazon S3 canonical user ID for the origin access identity, used when giving the origin access identity read permission to an object in Amazon S3.

CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig -> (structure)

The current configuration information for the identity.

CallerReference -> (string)

A unique value (for example, a date-time stamp) that ensures that the request can’t be replayed.

If the value of CallerReference is new (regardless of the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig object), a new origin access identity is created.

If the CallerReference is a value already sent in a previous identity request, and the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is identical to the original request (ignoring white space), the response includes the same information returned to the original request.

If the CallerReference is a value you already sent in a previous request to create an identity, but the content of the CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig is different from the original request, CloudFront returns a CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityAlreadyExists error.

Comment -> (string)

Any comments you want to include about the origin access identity.

ETag -> (string)

The current version of the configuration. For example: E2QWRUHAPOMQZL .
