I am having a small problem with my first time using cloudfront + s3. I just want to access my image via cloudfront. On S3, I have blocked all public access. Cloudfront origin is set to the S3 bucket.
The problem is when I am now trying to access my image via the cloudfront domain name.
XXX.cloudfront.net/folder/image.jpg
I get the error
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
However, if I set the public access on the s3 bucket
Block public and cross-account access to buckets and objects through any public bucket or access point policies
S3 will ignore public and cross-account access for buckets or access points with policies that grant public access to buckets and objects.
Then i can view the image from the cloudfront link. is it possible to view the cloudfront image without having public access on?
When you make your S3 objects private, they become inaccessible to the public—but CloudFront is no longer able to access them either. That is why you receive a 403 error. In order for this to work, you need to give CloudFront permission to access those private objects. You can do this by creating an Origin Access Identity, then setting the appropriate permissions on the S3 bucket so CloudFront is able to read the private objects.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to do set this up in the CloudFront console:

I want to protect my s3 object from Public access and the object can only be accessed from my origin. How can I do that? I tried by setting Objects Access control to Private, then Set in the buckets CORS settings, Allowed origin to my origin with the method GET but I'm getting an error while accessing the object.
How do I set the bucket to access the bucket objects only from my origin?
It sounds like you might be asking how to make an Amazon S3 bucket accessible to a specific Amazon CloudFront distribution.
From Restricting Access to Amazon S3 Content by Using an Origin Access Identity - Amazon CloudFront:
To restrict access to content that you serve from Amazon S3 buckets, follow these steps:
Create a special CloudFront user called an origin access identity (OAI) and associate it with your distribution.
Configure your S3 bucket permissions so that CloudFront can use the OAI to access the files in your bucket and serve them to your users. Make sure that users can’t use a direct URL to the S3 bucket to access a file there.
After you take these steps, users can only access your files through CloudFront, not directly from the S3 bucket.
I am trying to use S3 bucket to save pdf and image files uploaded by user for my website. I am accessing the S3 data using cloudflare and used setup as mentioned in S3 with Cloudflare disallow direct access and How to serve files from S3 via CloudFlare
But if I make the bucket not public then I m not able to access the data. Is there any way to access the S3 data through cloudflare without making the S3 bucket public ?
You can restrict access to your Amazon S3 bucket and objects to only the Cloudflare IP addresses.
Here's how to restrict S3 access to certain IP adresses using a bucket policy.
I uploaded an image to my bucket on s3 and when I try to make the image public from within the same account I get an access denied. I'm relatively new to AWS, but I used my account to upload it and it even lists me as the owner of the bucket/image.
It sounds like the bucket has Block Public Access applied by default. You can turn it off on the bucket, or for all buckets.

How do you restrict bucket access of an endpoint?
Here's my password protected CloudFront page:
d2hyhnit1e4g1k.cloudfront.net where the protection is created through a Lambda function.
I want to restrict access to my endpoint so I can't access the endpoint through http://data-flood.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com only through CloudFront.
It's easy: Simply do not grant public access to the bucket.
By default, Amazon S3 buckets are private. Therefore, nobody should be able to access the bucket.
But, you ask, how can CloudFront access the bucket to serve content? The answer is Restricting Access to Amazon S3 Content by Using an Origin Access Identity - Amazon CloudFront. That way, CloudFront can access the bucket, but nobody else can access it.
I've configured an S3 bucket with CloudFront and using alternate domain name provided by CludFront (I setup the domain alias images.mydomain.com at my DNS zone file).
At my DNS host the CNAME I'm pointing to xyz.cloudfront.net. Both my s3 bucket name and CNAME domain alias are images.mydomain.com.
I want world to access my images at images.mydomain.com/image.jpg and this is working perfectly.
The problem is the same resource is directly accessible by the world via below two URLs too and I don't want this to happen. I want only images.mydomain.com/image.jpg to work for world and not the below two.
images.mydomain.com.s3.amazonaws.com/image.jpg
s3.amazonaws.com/images.mydomain.com/image.jpg
How do I achieve this? please help.

You restrict access to Amazon S3 content by creating an origin access
identity, which is a special CloudFront user. You change Amazon S3
permissions to give the origin access identity permission to access
your objects, and to remove permissions from everyone else. When your
users access your Amazon S3 objects using CloudFront URLs, the
CloudFront origin access identity gets the objects on your users'
behalf. If your users try to access objects using Amazon S3 URLs,
they're denied access. The origin access identity has permission to
access objects in your Amazon S3 bucket, but users don't.
