    AWS SAA-C03 · Question 13 · Domain 1.2: Secure Workloads

    A company is hosting a static website on Amazon S3 distributed via Amazon CloudFront. The company wants to ensure that users can only access the website through the CloudFront distribution and cannot access the S3 bucket directly via its S3 URL. <br/><br/>What should the solutions architect configure to meet this requirement?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Configure Origin Access Control (OAC) on the CloudFront distribution and update the S3 bucket policy to allow access only from the CloudFront OAC.

    B.

    Create an IAM role for CloudFront and attach it to the S3 bucket.

    C.

    Configure the S3 bucket as a website endpoint and use a custom header in CloudFront to authenticate requests.

    D.

    Place the S3 bucket in a private VPC subnet and use a VPC endpoint for CloudFront.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the feature that restricts S3 access to CloudFront.

    Full Answer

    A.Configure Origin Access Control (OAC) on the CloudFront distribution and update the S3 bucket policy to allow access only from the CloudFront OAC.✓ Correct
    Configure Origin Access Control (OAC) on the CloudFront distribution and update the S3 bucket policy to allow access only from the CloudFront OAC.
    Origin Access Control (OAC) is the recommended way to secure Amazon S3 origins. It ensures that users can only access your S3 bucket content through CloudFront, preventing direct access to the S3 URLs.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing S3 website endpoints with REST API endpoints. OAC only works with S3 REST API endpoints.
