Invalidating items on CloudFront

[ghost]

Hi there,

I have Jekyll with incremental build enabled but every time I run 's3_wesbite push' from the terminal, it is invalidating the entire site. It's costing me a small fortune in AWS fees. I thought incremental only touched the files that had changed.

What am I doing wrong?

Can you share the source code of your site? Without confidential credentials of course. It's difficult to debug otherwise.

Sure. Thank you for helping me.

Jason your config seems fine to me. Anyway there should be no optiob that causes the behaviour you are experiencing. I'm out of guesses. As a workaround, why not remove the CloudFront distribution id from the config and set the cache max age to something sensible? You can also generate cache-busted URLs (maybe https://github.com/tkareine/jekyll-minibundle will help you). That way you can benefit from CloudFront even without explicit invalidations.
