Adding SSL certificates to Amazon AWS - S3 and AppSync

Question

I am using Amazon AWS as a back-end for my application development. I am mainly using the 2 resources of AWS -

1. S3 bucket storage
2. AppSync (With DynamoDB as Data Source)

I want to use or 'apply' SSL certificates for security on above 2 resources. I know I can create certificate from AWS Certificate Manager.

The problem is the documention mentions that certificates can only be applied to the below 6 resources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-services.html

1. Load Balancer
2. CloudFront
3. Elastic Beanstalk
4. API Gateway
5. Cloud Formation
6. Nitro Enclaves

I have already mentioned that I am using S3 and AppSync. These 2 resources are not in the above list. How do I apply certificates on the 2 resources - S3 and AppSync?

Do I need to do some kind of workaround?

Answer 1

You can create an AppSync api with the graphql (something like: https://abc.appsync.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql ) and mention that api endpoint as the origin in cloudfront distribution.

Please check this blog from AWS which explains better for AWS AppSync: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/use-a-custom-domain-with-aws-appsync-amazon-cloudfront-and-amazon-route-53/
