I am trying to load all my static resources for my website using the amazon cloudfront distribution. I have configured everything and I am able to load my files using the cloudfront domain URL.
I have also added a SSL certificate with ACM for my site domains *.mydomain.com and verified and added the custom SSL configuration to the distribution.
I have also added the Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs) : test.mydomain.com to the distribution.
What I am trying to do is load my static files using the url https://test.mydomain.com/animate.css which I am currently not able to. But I am getting the same file using the cloudfront URL https://myclouddomain.cloudfront.net/animate.css
I have also tried this after renaming my bucket to test.mydomain.com and is still not working.
Am I missing something here or is there any other configurations I need to do to load these files using my domain.
In your DNS registrar, make sure you have created a CNAME test.mydomain.com and pointed it to myclouddomain.cloudfront.net.
Elaborate on "it is not working", what's the error code/message?
DNS issue - point test.mydomain.com to myclouddomain.cloudfront.net in your domain registrar,
400 Bad Request - make sure the CNAME is properly configured in CloudFront
502 Bad Gateway - make sure the origin has an SSL certificate valid for: CloudFront CNAME if you are forwarding the Host Header,CloudFront Origin domain name if you are not forwarding the Host Header

I am using Loadbalancer with Amazon ACM. I have pointed A record to ELB in Route 53 ALand it works perfect with SSL and domain. But when I am pointing ELB to cloudfront getting SSL warning issue ..It would be great if someone help on this.
When you have your domain in CloudFront you need to ensure you attach a valid SSL from ACM (within us-east-1) for the domain you'll be loading. In addition ensure you have added your domain under the additional domains property.
Without this you will be loading the CloudFront default SSL which is invalid for your host domain name.
More information about setting this up is available on the Using Custom URLs for Files by Adding Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs) page.
So I created two buckets in S3. One with my domain name xxx.ninja and the other with the www. subdomain. The www one I redirected to the first. Then I created a domain in Route 53. And because I wanted https on my site I created a cloudfront distribution with redirect http -> https.
The s3 bucket url works just fine, but the site URL does not. I think I may have set it up incorrectly.
In AWS CloudFront I created my distribution and used the cloudfront default SSL cert. I choose redirect http -> https. And I pasted in my s3 website URL.
Then I copied the domain name and went to Route 53. After I created my domain I open its hosted zone and added an A record with the alias of the cloudfront domain name.
But the URL doesn't work. I get a 403 CloudFront error in the browser.
Thoughts?
IF you're using the default CloudFront SSL this indicates to me that you're not using a custom hostname (which would deny access to the CloudFront distribution).
You will need to add additional names to your CloudFront distribution (specifying every hostname that will have a DNS record resolving to the CloudFront distribution). In addition you will need to generate an SSL in ACM (which is free), this must be in region us-east-1.
More information on how to add a custom domain to your CloudFront distribution is available here.
I want to set up https for my s3 bucket so I figured I do it via cloudfront
I have a CF distribution and requested a domain name via route 53, which can take 3 days apparently
I've seen lots of tutorials but they all require a domain name to be entered when requesting a certificate. is it possible to do with just CF and s3
so instead of going to do http://my-bucket.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ I can access https://my-bucket.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
how can I do this?
I tried putting in my cloudfront domain into the ACM request but it rejected it
The SSL will not be valid for that domain name. You will however, be able to access the CloudFront distribution via HTTPS.
Try accessing the CLoudFront hostname in the browser using HTTPS.
The hosted application worked until yesterday but suddenly not working today.
What I have done?
Using Cloudfront - To host my website from Amazon’s edge locations with a custom SSL certificate setup for my domain.
Amazon
Certificate Manager - To get HTTPS Certificate
Hosted my client application in S3. They wanted to access their site using a domain name. To achieve this I have provided two records as given below.
Type Host Value TTL
A # IP of the client domain 600
CNAME www CloudFront distribution URL 600
The thing is Endpoint which I got while configuring Cloudfront "d3ajo2v2g7lf33.cloudfront.net" is working but the domain name which I added as an alias to this endpoint is not working.
Probable findings from my side:
1) Used let's encrypt to get the SSL and it's about to expire within a week.
2) Added A record with the IP address of the domain. As am using Cloudfront am doubting that the domain does not have a static IP.
Also please let me know CloudFront distribution domain name IP will change every time or will it be static.
Kindly help me to resolve this.
CloudFront has CNAME record as well. So you have to register your domain name in the CloudFront distribution.
as for the SSL certificate for your custom domain, take a look at AWS ACM. It may be easier than using lets encrypt certificate (your call).
and yes. use the cloudfront's domain URL. it won't change unless you delete the distribution.
I am trying to setup CloudFront with an Amazon S3 static website and Amazon EC2 nodejs server.
I have followed the following steps:
Setup S3 bucket example.com
Create certificate in ACM issued at example.com and api.example.com
Create CloudFront distribution
Set created CloudFront alternate domain names to: example.com and api.example.com
Added SSL certificate from ACM
Created origin with example.com.s3-website-AWS_REGION.amazonaws.com
In Route 53, added entry for example.com and api.example.com with alias name pointing to CloudFront distribution.
After this my https://example.com is loading the webpage correctly. Now I try to set CloudFront for my nodejs server as well.
Added new origin in CloudFront distribution with ec2-IP.AWS_REGION.compute.amazonaws.com.
Added the behaviors for pattern api.example.com/* with all TTL set to zero.
Now when I try to access the nodejs server using https://api.example.com, I am not able to do so and get error. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
You are confused that CloudFront serves based on virtual hosting, CloudFront doesn't do that, it instead looks at the URI path e.g: /api/* etc and forwards the requests to origin based on path behaviour match.
In both https://api.example.com and https://example.com, it matching default path behaviour and sending requests to S3.
Possible solution:
Create a new CloudFront and add api.example.com here in CNAME and use the existing cert and origin as EC2 instance, cloudfront doesn't charge you for creating distribution.
If above no, you need to use Lambda#edge(Viewer Request/Origin Request(whitelisting HOST header)) to read the HOST header and choose the origin ec2 or S3 based on if it's api.example.com or example.com.

Based on your requirement, option 1 should be easy for you.
