Change caching of embedded images in Dashboards

Question & Answer

Hi,

we have a dashboard containing embedded images. These images are stored in S3 and accessed through a CloudFront distribution. The issue we are having is that after we change the image in S3 and have CloudFront to load it again, QuickSight still shows the old image. Opening the CloudFront url shows the new image, but embedding it in QuickSight shows the old one.

I assume there is some caching then in QuickSight, and wonder if we can change the behaviour? Our goal is to have dynamic images in QuickSight that we change by overwriting files in S3 and have QuickSight load in the new files.

Many thanks,
David

@d.norrman ,

QuickSight is accessing the image which is stored in CloudFront. When you say “QuickSight still shows the old image” , is this after refreshing the dashboard.

Before I ask you to log a support ticket, is it possible to record this behavior and upload a gif ?
