Using SSL on Amazon S3 bucket with CNAME

Question

So currently I have a CNAME mapped to my Amazon S3 bucket so that I can access my files like subdomain.domain.com/file.js

The problem is SSL doesn't work on this.

Now I could add Cloudfront, however, that creates a cache for the files and the files need to update dynamically.

How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

CloudFront is a complementary service to S3, and is the only way AWS provides to combine a custom domain name and SSL with an S3 bucket.

If you really don't want CloudFront to cache any content, you can set the Minimum, Default, and Maximum TTL to 0.
