Description

2026-03-15T02:16:57.364Z cd ** error: sdk-v2/provider2.go:572: sdk.helper_schema: creating CloudFront Distribution: operation error CloudFront: CreateDistributionWithTags, https response error StatusCode: 409, RequestID: 750b9144-a2a2-4076-9020-a3441436d1da, CNAMEAlreadyExists: One or more of the CNAMEs you provided are already associated with a different resource.: provider=aws@6.83.2

This happens because the "new" CDN is spun up before the old one is deleted, with no apparent link between the two resources.

Research direction

Start at sdk-v2/provider2.go:572 and reproduce the service rename with x-defang-static-files using the AWS provider. Trace how the CloudFront Distribution is created and how the prior resource is removed. Done means the rename no longer fails with CNAMEAlreadyExists.
