Once you have it, change the CNAME for your i.mywebsite record to it. You can find the CloudFront Domain Name on either your CloudFront dashboard, or after clicking into one of your distributions. Your CloudFront "Domain Name" is what you use to access the S3 bucket behind CloudFront. Scroll the rest of the way down and click "Create Distribution". Scroll down to SSL Certificate and change the option to "Custom SSL Certificate", then select the certificate you just created in the drop-down list.Scroll to the "Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs)" field and enter your domain/subdomain you're using (example: i.).A list of your Amazon S3 buckets should pop up. Click inside the input field for "Origin Domain Name".You'll arrive on the Create Distribution page.

Click "Get Started" under the Web option (not the RTMP). Navigate to CloudFront in your AWS console and click "Create Distribution". Go check it and confirm ownership following its directions. Hit "Review and request", then "Confirm and request" on the next page. Type in the domain/subdomain you'll be using. Navigate to Certificate Manager in your AWS console and click "Request a Certificate". If you're using WHOIS privacy, that won't be too useful though, so you'll have to make sure you have a valid email at one of the above addresses. You need to be able to receive email at the domain you plan to create an SSL certificate for, so Amazon can verify your domain ownership.Įxample: If you plan to create an SSL cert for "i.", you must be able to receive email at one of any of these well as the email address in your WHOIS lookup for the domain. Or you could also run it all through CloudFlare, which will offload a lot of bandwidth and requests. If you're worried about pricing to remote regions, you can set the "Price Class" to only use US, Canada, and Europe. You can view S3 pricing and CloudFront pricing to compare them. Pricing for bandwidth and requests between S3 and CloudFront is similar, though CloudFront can get more expensive if you have a lot of users outside of North America and Europe.

It sounds complicated, but setup is pretty easy. The solution then is to put your S3 bucket behind a CloudFront distribution, assign the SSL certificate to the CloudFront distribution, and map your domain to your CloudFront distribution URL using a CNAME. You can only assign SSL certificates to an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer or CloudFront distribution.

Getting an SSL Certificate and CloudFrontĪmazon offers free SSL certificates using the AWS Certificate Manager, but there's no way to assign one to an S3 bucket. The reason for this is that Amazon's hosts have valid SSL certificates, while your i. subdomain does not. You can access your bucket directly using HTTPS and it works though: You can now make calls to resources in your bucket like this:īut if you try to do it with HTTPS, it will not respond: The downside is it doesn't work with HTTPS.įor example: Say your main website is and you have mapped your subdomain i. to your Amazon S3 bucket named "i.". One of the cool things about Amazon S3 (and most other cloud storage services) is that you can map your own domain or subdomain to your bucket using a CNAME, so it looks like resources are being served by your website.
