I have a task to host a website on S3 which is only accessible via the private link.
I created the website, and I am able to access it using the public link
Link --> http://mywebsite.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
I also created a VPC interface endpoint to access the bucket privately over the VPN. I got the DNS name from the Interface endpoint as
*.vpce-xxxxx-xxx.s3.us-east-1.vpce.amazonaws.com
I did the nslookup on the mywebsite.com.vpce-xxxxx-xxx.s3.us-east-1.vpce.amazonaws.com and is getting the correct IP addresses of the ENI's
When I try to access the webite thru the VPC Interface endpoint I am getting bucket does not exist. What I am doing wrong ?
I am using this url to access the bucket.
Link : http://mywebsite.com.vpce-xxxxx-xxx.s3.us-east-1.vpce.amazonaws.com
For this POC my bucket policy is wide open so there is no restriction on the bucket policy.
Looks like this isn't supported.

AWS PrivateLink for Amazon S3 does not support the following:
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) endpoints
Website endpoints
Legacy global endpoints
Using CopyObject API or UploadPartCopy API between buckets in different AWS Regions
Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0

I have an application built around AWS:
a lambda function
an API gateway calling the lambda, must be called with an API key
an S3 bucket as static website, that calls the API gateway
How can I secure the calls to the API gateway so that it cannot be called from anywhere but my S3 bucket ?
Some solutions have already come in my mind like:
proxy : helps hiding the API key, but anyone accessing the proxy can call the API, right ?
IP whitelisting : I can't know the IP range the bucket is using, so I can't do that
Thanks
I have got a question about minio or s3 policy. I am using a stand-alone minio server for my project. Here is the situation :
There is only one admin account that receives files and uploads them to minio server.
My Users need to access just their own uploaded objects. I mean another user is not supposed to see other people's object publicly (e.g. by visiting direct link in URL).
Admin users are allowed to see all objects in any circumstances.
1. How can i implement such policies for my project considering i have got my database for user authentication and how can i combine them to authenticate the user.
2. If not what other options do i have here to ease the process ?
Communicate with your storage through the application. Do policy checks, authentication or authorization in the app and store/grab files to/from storage and make the proper response. I guess this is the only way you can have limitation on uploading/downloading files using Minio.
If you're using a framework like Laravel built in S3 driver works perfectly with Minio; Otherwise it's just matter of a HTTP call. Minio provides HTTP APIs.
I have created S3endpoint and added it to route table of a subnet.
Subnet has route to internet and able to open AWS console.
Next a bucket is created with bucket policy limiting access to it through VPC endpoint.
I have IAM user which has full permission to this bucket.
When i access the S3 bucket through S3 console webpage there is an error 'Access Denied' but i am able to upload files to the bucket.
Does S3 endpoint imply that only access will be through AWS CLI \SDKs? and console access is limited?
Does S3 endpoint imply that only access will be through AWS CLI \SDKs?
and console access is limited?
My understanding is that any calls done in the AWS Console will not use the endpoint setup within the VPC, even if you're accessing it via an EC2 instance within the VPC. This is because the UI within the AWS Console does not directly access the S3 API Endpoint, but instead goes through a proxy to reach the endpoint.
If you need to access the S3 bucket via the AWS Console, you'll need to amend your bucket policy.
I have successfully set up multiple API Gateways on AWS and they work perfectly with client API Keys.
Is it possible to make a specific endpoint in an API publicly available, but all other endpoints protected with the client API key required?
Simply set the apiKeyRequired field to false on whichever Methods you want to open to the public.
This is in the Method Request page in the console. Here is an example using the AWS CLI:
aws apigateway update-method --rest-api-id 1234123412 --resource-id a1b2c3 --http-method GET --patch-operations op="replace",path="/apiKeyRequired",value="false"
Please note that if you remove the requirement for an API Key, any rate limit or quota you have set up on a Usage Plan will not be applied.
You can use AWS CloudFront to forward the request to API Gateway for the public endpoint and define the Client API Key in CloudFront headers forwarded to the Origin.
Note: When including API Gateway as a origin to CloudFront you need to do the following.
Whitelist header (Except Host Header)
Make HTTPS only
Make TTL values 0
I am new to S3 and am wonding how I could protect access to S3 or cloud front via Basic Authentification while installing a private certificate into Chrome, that allows access. Is there anything like this?
It is not possible to use Basic Authentication with Amazon S3 nor Amazon CloudFront.
Amazon S3 access can be controlled via one or more of:
Access Control List on the object level
Amazon S3 Bucket Policy
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) Policy
Amazon CloudFront has its own method of controlling access via signed URLs and signed cookies.
