  2. If you are using the RedirectDomainName parameter in static-website/static-website, update the stack with the new template version and remove the RedirectDomainName parameter value. After the stack is updated (usually takes 15-30 mins because of CloudFront!), continue with the next step.
  3. The optional parameter LambdaEdgeSubdirectoriesVersionArn was added. The value should be the LambdaVersionArn output of the static-website/lambdaedge-index-document stack.
  4. The DefaultRootObject parameter was added but is only used if LambdaEdgeSubdirectoriesVersionArn is not set. Usually you will set this to something like index.html which is the default as well.
