How to Configure SSL for Amazon S3 bucket

Question

I am using an Amazon S3 bucket for uploading and downloading of data using my  NET application  Now my question is  I want to access my S3 bucket using SSL  Is it possible to implement SSL for an Amazon s3 bucket

I found you can do this easily via the Cloud Flare service.

Set up a bucket, enable webhosting on the bucket and point the desired CNAME to that endpoint via Cloudflare... and pay for the service of course... but $5-$20 VS $600 is much easier to stomach.

You can access your files via SSL like this   https   s3 amazonaws com bucket name images logo gif   If you use a custom domain for your bucket  you can use S3 and CloudFront together with your own SSL certificate  or generate a free one via Amazon Certificate Manager   http   aws amazon com cloudfront custom-ssl-domains

It is not possible directly with S3  but you can create a Cloud Front distribution from you bucket  Then go to certificate manager and request a certificate  Amazon gives them for free  Ones you have successfully confirmed the certification  assign it to your Cloud Front distribution  Also remember to set the rule to re-direct http to https    I m hosting couple of static websites on Amazon S3  like my personal website to which I have assigned the SSL certificate as they have the Cloud Front distribution

Custom domain SSL certs were just added today for  600 cert month  Sign up for your invite below  http   aws amazon com cloudfront custom-ssl-domains   Update  SNI customer provided certs are now available for no additional charge  Much cheaper than  600 mo  and with XP nearly killed off  it should work well for most use cases    skalee AWS has a mechanism for achieving what the poster asks for   implement SSL for an Amazon s3 bucket   it s called CloudFront  I m reading  implement  as  use my SSL certs   not  just put an S on the HTTP URL which I m sure the OP could have surmised   Since CloudFront costs exactly the same as S3   0 12 GB   but has a ton of additional features  around SSL AND allows you to add your own SNI cert at no additional cost  it s the obvious fix for  implementing SSL  on your domain

As mentioned before  you cannot create free certificates for S3 buckets  However  you can create Cloud Front distribution and then assign the certificate for the Cloud Front instead  You request the certificate for your domain and then just assign it to the Cloud Front distribution in the Cloud Front settings  I ve used this method to serve static websites via SSL as well as serve static files   For static website creation Amazon is the go to place  It is really affordable to get a static website with SSL

If you really need it  consider redirections   For example  on request to assets my-domain example com path to file you could perform a 301 or 302 redirection to my-bucket-name s3 amazonaws com path to file or s3 amazonaws com my-bucket-name path to file  please remember that in the first case my-bucket-name cannot contain any dots  otherwise it won t match   s3 amazonaws com  s3 amazonaws com stated in S3 certificate    Not tested  but I believe it would work   I see few gotchas  however   The first one is pretty obvious  an additional request to get this redirection   And I doubt you could use redirection server provided by your domain name registrar     you d have to upload proper certificate there somehow     so you have to use your own server for this   The second one is that you can have urls with your domain name in page source code  but when for example user opens the pic in separate tab  then address bar will display the target url
