AWS::Lightsail::Distribution CacheBehaviorPerPath

CacheBehaviorPerPath is a property of the AWS::Lightsail::Distribution resource. It describes the per-path cache behavior of an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

Use a per-path cache behavior to override the default cache behavior of a distribution, or to add an exception to it. For example, if you set the CacheBehavior to cache, you can use a per-path cache behavior to specify a directory, file, or file type that your distribution will cache. If you don’t want your distribution to cache a specified directory, file, or file type, set the per-path cache behavior to dont-cache.
