However, with the release of you can use a JavaScript function running on the CloudFront edge nodes to look for these patterns and request the appropriate object key from the S3 origin. Not if you still want to be able to restrict access to the S3 origin using an OAI. Until now, there has not been an easy way to provide these simpler URLs (equivalent to the DirectoryIndex Directive in an Apache Web Server configuration) to users through CloudFront. Of course, it is a bad user experience to expect users to always type index.html at the end of every URL (or even know that it should be there). If you were to attempt to request this URL through CloudFront, CloudFront would do a S3 GetObject API call against a key that does not exist. It does not work on any subdirectory (such as ). This presents some challenges in that the REST endpoint does not support redirection to a default index page.ĬloudFront does allow you to specify a default root object (index.html), but it only works on the root of the website (such as > ). Instead, CloudFront must use the S3 REST endpoint to fetch content from your origin so that the request can be authenticated using the OAI. However, in order to do this, you cannot use the HTTP endpoint that is exposed by S3’s static website hosting feature. If you implement CloudFront in front of S3, you can achieve this by using an OAI. One of the key concerns that you might have when implementing any type of WAF or CDN is that you want to force your users to go through the CDN. As you can see, it’s possible to achieve some robust functionality by using S3, CloudFront, and other managed services and not have to worry about maintaining underlying infrastructure. In addition, CloudFront also offers integration with AWS WAF, a web application firewall.
CloudFront can enable HTTPS-hosted sites, by either using a custom Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate or a managed certificate from AWS Certificate Manager. You can also put CloudFront in front of S3 to further scale the performance of your site and cache the content closer to your users. Use this name for your website by creating a CNAME record in your domain’s DNS environment (or Amazon Route 53) as follows: You don’t need to worry about managing servers or underlying infrastructure-you just publish your static to content to an S3 bucket. In this post, I show how you can use along with the CloudFront origin access identity (OAI) for Amazon S3 and still provide simple URLs (such as instead of BackgroundĪmazon S3 is a great platform for hosting a static website. Amazon CloudFront is a content distribution network service. With the recent launch of it’s now possible for you to provide even more robust functionality to your static websites.
