Thanks! Saved me a bunch of work!

+1, thanks!

+1, sweet

gem install ruby-hmac provides hmac-sha1

I know this guy!

👍

not sure how to get in touch with you, that's why commenting; . I very new to ruby and cloud front and I see I can invalidate a specific image or a specific folder with this script but do you know how to use this path to invalidate everything in the host instead of providing a single path?(like the default path which cloudfront invalidates{/*}
