AWS CloudFront redirecting to S3 bucket

Quick Solution

Use the regional domain name of your S3 bucket to configure the CloudFront distribution's origin, e.g.: {bucket-name}.s3.{region}.amazonaws.com.

Explanation

According to the discussion on AWS Developer Forums: Cloudfront domain redirects to S3 Origin URL, it takes time for DNS records to be created and propagated for newly created S3 buckets. The issue is not visible for buckets created in US East (N. Virginia) region, because this region is the default one (fallback).

Each S3 bucket has two domain names, one global and one regional, i.e:

• global — {bucket-name}.s3.amazonaws.com
• regional — {bucket-name}.s3.{region}.amazonaws.com

If you configure your CloudFront distribution to use the global domain name, you will probably encounter this issue, due to the fact that DNS configuration takes time.

However, you could use the regional domain name in your origin configuration to escape this DNS issue in the first place.

CloudFormation Template

If you are using CloudFormation, you can use the RegionalDomainName output attribute of the AWS::S3::Bucket resource:

S3Bucket:
  Type: AWS::S3::Bucket

CloudFrontDistribution:
  Type: AWS::CloudFront::Distribution
  Properties:
    DistributionConfig:
      Origins:
        - DomainName: !GetAtt S3Bucket.RegionalDomainName

As well, I would highly recommend to read this blog post on the future of S3 different path formats:

I found the issue. It is with cloudfront configuration. This blog helped me.

While defining the origin I have directly selected S3 bucket. We should enter the domain of the S3 bucket like telekha-test-www.s3-website.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com
