Cloudfront with 2 origins (different buckets) and both host root of bucket

Question

I have a CDN and 2 buckets

• one bucket is using the default behaviour so img.png is accessible via CDN URL: cdn.com/img.png

• one bucket is using the /path behaviour so everything in the CDN routed to /path should go to this bucket. It works when i put this in the bucket: path/test.png . I can visit cdn.com/path/test.png .

What I want is to put test.png in the root of my bucket without the prefix of path/ . Is this possible (without the use of lambda@edge)?

Answer 1

If you want to rewrite the path, you have to use lambda@edge.

If you are ok with 301 redirection, you can try enabling static website hosting on S3 bucket and use the following redirection rule :

<RoutingRules>
  <RoutingRule>
    <Condition>
      <KeyPrefixEquals>path/</KeyPrefixEquals>
    </Condition>
    <Redirect>
      <ReplaceKeyPrefixWith/>
    </Redirect>
  </RoutingRule>
</RoutingRules>
