--date-less-than (string) The expiration date and time for the URL. Supported formats include: YYYY-MM-DD (which means 0AM UTC of that day), YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss (with default timezone as UTC), YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+hh:mm or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss-hh:mm (with offset), or EpochTime (which always means UTC).

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To sign a CloudFront URL

The following example signs a CloudFront URL. To sign a URL, you need the key pair ID (called the Access Key ID in the AWS Management Console) and the private key of the trusted signer's CloudFront key pair. For more information about signed URLs, see Serving Private Content with Signed URLs and Signed Cookies in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.
