**To get a CloudFront distribution** The following example gets the CloudFront distribution with the ID ``EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE``, including its ``ETag``. The distribution ID is returned in the `create-distribution <create-distribution.html>`_ and `list-distributions <list-distributions.html>`_ commands. :: aws cloudfront get-distribution --id EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE Output:: { "ETag": "E2QWRUHEXAMPLE", "Distribution": { "Id": "EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE", "ARN": "arn:aws:cloudfront::123456789012:distribution/EDFDVBD6EXAMPLE", "Status": "Deployed", "LastModifiedTime": "2019-12-04T23:35:41.433Z", "InProgressInvalidationBatches": 0, "DomainName": "d111111abcdef8.cloudfront.net", "ActiveTrustedSigners": { "Enabled": false, "Quantity": 0 }, "DistributionConfig": { "CallerReference": "cli-example", "Aliases": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultRootObject": "index.html", "Origins": { "Quantity": 1, "Items": [ { "Id": "awsexamplebucket.s3.amazonaws.com-cli-example", "DomainName": "awsexamplebucket.s3.amazonaws.com", "OriginPath": "", "CustomHeaders": { "Quantity": 0 }, "S3OriginConfig": { "OriginAccessIdentity": "" } } ] }, "OriginGroups": { "Quantity": 0 }, "DefaultCacheBehavior": { "TargetOriginId": "awsexamplebucket.s3.amazonaws.com-cli-example", "ForwardedValues": { "QueryString": false, "Cookies": { "Forward": "none" }, "Headers": { "Quantity": 0 }, "QueryStringCacheKeys": { "Quantity": 0 } }, "TrustedSigners": { "Enabled": false, "Quantity": 0 }, "ViewerProtocolPolicy": "allow-all", "MinTTL": 0, "AllowedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ], "CachedMethods": { "Quantity": 2, "Items": [ "HEAD", "GET" ] } }, "SmoothStreaming": false, "DefaultTTL": 86400, "MaxTTL": 31536000, "Compress": false, "LambdaFunctionAssociations": { "Quantity": 0 }, "FieldLevelEncryptionId": "" }, "CacheBehaviors": { "Quantity": 0 }, "CustomErrorResponses": { "Quantity": 0 }, "Comment": "", "Logging": { "Enabled": false, "IncludeCookies": false, "Bucket": "", "Prefix": "" }, "PriceClass": "PriceClass_All", "Enabled": true, "ViewerCertificate": { "CloudFrontDefaultCertificate": true, "MinimumProtocolVersion": "TLSv1", "CertificateSource": "cloudfront" }, "Restrictions": { "GeoRestriction": { "RestrictionType": "none", "Quantity": 0 } }, "WebACLId": "", "HttpVersion": "http2", "IsIPV6Enabled": true } } }
