Invalidate AWS CloudFront Cache

Today, I needed to invalidate a specific Distribution's cache on AWS CloudFront. This resulted in me searching through the AWS cli tool's docs. Luckily I was able to uncover a command to accomplish such a task.

aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id DISTRIBUTION_ID --paths /\*

Simply replace DISTRIBUTION_ID with the proper ID and you will be good to go.
