如何使用 CloudFront 分发将文件上传到后备 S3 存储？

Question

I have a Cloudfront distribution backed by S3 storage. CloudFront supports POST content-uploads as mentioned here: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-cloudfront-content-uploads-post-put-other-methods/

Couple of issues using this -

1. I've enabled the settings as mentioned in the link above, but using Postman, I get 403
2. Even if I make it work, what will be the 'secure' way to upload files using CloudFront so that only authenticated users are able to upload to it.

Please note that, am trying to create a mobile application, that uses the above config as its backend. So, users on the mobile app are already authenticated using OAuth with Google/Facebook etc providers.

Answer 1

1. Check the bucket's policy. You must allow PutObject .

2. That's not really related to CloudFront or S3. Before the action of POST-ing the content, you need to validate that the user is properly authenticated and authorized to do such action.
