What does SSH has to do with GitHoot, blogging and AWS CloudFront? CDN caching is vital for static resources like blog posts or RSS and Atom feeds. They can be tricky to setup when you need to re-deploy every time you change anything cache related in your code. SSH can help with that. In this blog post we'll configure CloudFront caching live, right from our dev machine without ever re-deploying anything or even touching the AWS config. This should work just as well for CloudFlare and other CDN providers. Enjoy.
