CacheBehaviorPerPath

Describes the per-path cache behavior of an Amazon Lightsail content delivery network (CDN) distribution.

A per-path cache behavior is used to override, or add an exception to, the default cache behavior of a distribution. For example, if the cacheBehavior is set to cache, then a per-path cache behavior can be used to specify a directory, file, or file type that your distribution will cache. Alternately, if the distribution's cacheBehavior is dont-cache, then a per-path cache behavior can be used to specify a directory, file, or file type that your distribution will not cache.

You can specify one of the following per-path cache behaviors:
