Originally I have:
a Bucket (Singapore) , and then I copied this bucket to another region using the AWS CLI.
But the problem is that the resulted images in the new bucket is not accessible via web.
Any thoughts?
p.s: I had never set any policy to both buckets before.
By default, all content in an Amazon S3 bucket is private.
You can grant access to Amazon S3 objects in several ways:
Object-level ACLs: You can make individual files public by ticking the Read permission in the S3 console. This applies only to the specific file.
Bucket Policy: This is applied to the bucket, which assigns permissions to the whole bucket or paths within the bucket. For example, make all objects public. (See Example bucket policies)
IAM Policy: You can create a policy and apply it to a specific IAM User or IAM Group. The policy can grant access to specific buckets or paths within buckets, similar to the Bucket Policy.
Pre-Signed URLs: These can be generated by applications to grant time-limited access to objects stored in Amazon S3.
So, if you think that your users should able to access the files in your bucket, make sure you have granted access via one of the above methods.

I'm trying to figure out a bucket policy to allow Scrapy Cloud to read my seeds list. I'm a bit confused as to whether I need an IAM policy specifically for this OR is a bucket policy sufficient?
I know when I create a bucket AWS by default makes the bucket non-public access (private). So how do I allow Scrapy Cloud to access my seed list on S3?
I am very naive at AWS s3. Recently, we have a requirement of using the AWS s3 bucket for storing big files. I wanted to know, How do we do security at folder level within a single bucket in s3? Do S3 takes care of that? If yes, by what means? I understand that. they do encryption and decryption of data, but that does not suffice. We are a service provider, where multiple tenants would be using the same bucket. How folder within AWS bucket can be isolated with security? For one bucket there will be single access-key, but what about a folder in a bucket?
You should use a bucket policy to restrict/Allow user access to the folder. You can do this using the S3 Console or you can assign an IAM role to the user. Please take a look at the link for more details.

I want to setup an s3 bucket securely but provide public access to website assets such as images, pdfs, documents, etc. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this.
I have tried setting up a new bucket which has Block Public Access enabled. I assume this is the best way to secure the bucket but can't enable viewing/downloading of files in this bucket.
I expect to be able to view/download website files from a browser but always get an Access Denied error.
All content in Amazon S3 buckets are private by default.
If you wish to provide public access to content, this can be done in several ways:
At the Bucket level by providing a Bucket Policy: This is ideal for providing access to a whole bucket, or a portion of a bucket.
At the Object level by using an Access Control List (ACL): This allows fine-grained control on an object-by-object basis.
Selectively, by creating a pre-signed URL: This allows your application to determine whether a particular application user should be permitted access
All three methods allow an object in Amazon S3 to be accessed via a URL. This is totally separate to making API calls to Amazon S3 using AWS credentials, which would allow control at the user-level.
Based on your description, it would appear that a Bucket Policy would best meet your needs, such as:
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[
{
"Sid":"PublicPermission",
"Effect":"Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action":["s3:GetObject"],
"Resource":["arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"]
}
]
}
This is saying: Allow anyone to get an object from my-bucket
Note that the policy specifies which calls are permitted, so it can allow upload, download, delete, etc. In the above example, it is only allowing GetObject, which means objects can be accessed/downloaded but not uploaded, deleted, etc.
The /* in the Resource allows further control by specifying a path within the bucket, so it would be possible to grant access only to a portion of the bucket.
When using a Bucket Policy, it is also necessary to deactivate Block Public Access settings to allow the Bucket Policy to be used. This is an extra layer of protection that ensures buckets are not accidentally made publicly accessible.
If, on the other hand, your actual goal is to keep content private but selectively make it available to application users, then you could use a pre-signed URL. An example is a photo website where people are permitted to view their private photos, but the photos are not publicly accessible.
This would be handled by having users authenticate to the application. Then, when they wish to access a photo, the application would determine whether they are permitted to see the photo. If so, the application would generate a pre-signed URL that grants temporary access to an object. Once the expiry time is passed, the link will no longer work.
Recently I have got an email related to my AWS S3 buckets ACL
and the email says:
We’re writing to remind you that one or more of your Amazon S3 bucket access control lists (ACLs) or bucket policies are currently configured to allow read or write access from any user on the Internet. The list of buckets with this configuration is below.
By default, S3 bucket ACLs or policies allow only the account owner to read or write contents from the bucket; however, these ACLs or bucket policies can be configured to permit world access. While there are reasons to configure buckets with world access, including public websites or publicly downloadable content, recently, there have been public disclosures of S3 bucket contents that were inadvertently configured to allow world read or write access but were not intended to be publicly available.
We encourage you to promptly review your S3 buckets and their contents to ensure that you are not inadvertently making objects available to users that you don’t intend. Bucket ACLs and policies can be reviewed in the AWS Management Console (http://console.aws.amazon.com ), or using the AWS CLI tools. ACLs permitting access to either “All Users” or “Any Authenticated AWS User” (which includes any AWS account) are effectively granting world access to the related content.
So, my question is what should I do to overcome this?
As the first answer, yes these mails are like reminders. What should you do is;
Spot the S3 Buckets that needs to be private
Check their Bucket ACL's. Look to the Public Access & Listing
After that check the Bucket policy. Remember that Bucket policies are more valid than the ACL's (For example, ACL may set to DENY mode but if the policy is on ALLOW, every object would be Public)

This is a courtesy notice, letting you know that content in Amazon S3 is public. If this is how you want your S3 bucket(s) configured, then there is no need to take action.
If this is not how you wish your buckets to be configured, then you should remove those permissions. (See plenty of online information on how to do this.)
I suspect that many people just blindly copy instructions from various online tutorials and might not realise the impact of their configurations. This email is just letting AWS customers know about their current configuration.
I currently serve files on S3 that are private. I would like to serve files via Cloudfront but I keep getting an AccessDenied error. I have tried multiple combinations
With and without Cloud front key pairs
With and without AWS access keys
But nothing works. Do the files on my S3 bucket need to be publicly readable and then I just restrict access to them via Cloudfront by setting bucket policies?
Thanks
Yes. There is no inherent connection between S3 and CloudFront. From the perspective of S3, CloudFront is just another "user" trying to access the content. Therefore, the S3 bucket has to give permission to CloudFront to access the content. Keep in mind that there is no way to set permissions on the CloudFront distribution so your content will be publicly available that way.
