Serverless Framework - deploying multiple AWS cloudfront distributions

I want to have multiple (based on stage param) AWS cloudfront distribution. So if --stage dev passed it would deploy a different CloudFront dist than --stage qa. Each stage should update/create a distribution based on the stage params.

Is it possible to achieve with serverless.yml?

I have found the following plugin serverless-api-cloudfront , not sure it will create additional distribution if domain name is changed, and not sure it is possible to add origins with this plugin.

Thanks

Yes. Yes it's possible and it's already built in. Your config will be simpler if you use the plugin serverless-api-cloudfront (rather than declaring a AWS::CloudFront::Distribution resource yourself). You will get one distribution-per-stage, without having to jump through any hoops.

** EDIT

Expanding on my original post: It does seem that the serverless-api-cloudfront plugin's README is lacking in usage examples (at the time of this writing). I do suggest that anyone reading this post should go to the plugin's github and help the author by PR'ing a better README.

Here's a link to a blog article I found that shows an example of how to write up a AWS::CloudFront::Distribution directly in your serverless.yml. It's only 1 resource, so you may not even want to depend on a plugin anyway. https://medium.com/yld-blog/caching-in-with-cloudfront-using-serverless-5a174651ab14
