How to update CloudFront aliase with AWS CLI

I have a cloudfront and I need to update the alias (CNAME) of that using the aws cli.

According to the documentation I have have a configuration json.

Command I tried looks like this:

aws cloudfront update-distribution --distribution-config file://cfconfig.json --id <ID>

and the cfconfig.json looks like this:

{
    "CallerReference": "terraformer",
    "Aliases": {
      "Quantity": 1,
      "Items": ["test.dev.domain.com.au"]
    }
}

But I get the error:

enter image description here

I need to only update the cloudfront CNAME value and how can I simply do that? Why we need the json file at all? Are there any other good ways to add only the Cname?

I'd suggest to download current distribution config using aws cloudfront get-distribution-config and than amend it according to the changes you need to apply and feed it to update-distribution command.
