		mhitza on Dec 15, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again Takes minutes to update a CloudFront distribution (they say around 5 minutes in their blog post from last year when speed was improved [1]). I think they might want to be able to change it to "everything's back to normal" in an instant, based on the SLA argument I've seen thrown around last time an AWS region was down.

It's minutes to update the distribution settings, but that doesn't have to be the case for the content itself. A much lower cache time can be used.
