**To create a CloudFront origin access identity** The following example creates a CloudFront origin access identity (OAI) by providing the OAI configuration as a command line argument:: aws cloudfront create-cloud-front-origin-access-identity \ --cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config \ CallerReference="cli-example",Comment="Example OAI" You can accomplish the same thing by providing the OAI configuration in a JSON file, as shown in the following example:: aws cloudfront create-cloud-front-origin-access-identity \ --cloud-front-origin-access-identity-config file://OAI-config.json The file ``OAI-config.json`` is a JSON document in the current directory that contains the following:: { "CallerReference": "cli-example", "Comment": "Example OAI" } Whether you provide the OAI configuration with a command line argument or a JSON file, the output is the same:: { "Location": "https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2019-03-26/origin-access-identity/cloudfront/E74FTE3AEXAMPLE", "ETag": "E2QWRUHEXAMPLE", "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity": { "Id": "E74FTE3AEXAMPLE", "S3CanonicalUserId": "cd13868f797c227fbea2830611a26fe0a21ba1b826ab4bed9b7771c9aEXAMPLE", "CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig": { "CallerReference": "cli-example", "Comment": "Example OAI" } } }
