How to overcome caching when replacing a file in S3 with another one with the same name?

Question

Amazon Web Services

How can you let the browser know that the file has been changed and you need to download a new one if the name remains the same? I really don't want to introduce versioning and create unnecessary logic for deleting old files.

Answer 1

S3 takes care of this on its own and manages the headers too, so that's not a problem. If you want higher control, then you can wrap S3 through CloudFront
