CloudFront

View CloudFront Distributions from your terminal

orbit lists CloudFront Distributions as a dense, sortable table (16 columns including Distribution Id, Alternate Domains and Origins), fetched through the CloudFront API.

Every action on this view is a read, so browsing cannot change anything even in a writable run. CloudFront is a global service: rows come from us-east-1 no matter which region you select.
