How to redirect non www to www in aws s3 bucket and cloudfront


I know how to redirect/rewrite non-www to www using .htaccess in apache server. But I have no clue, about s3 bucket, and CloudFront. I have hosted the website on an s3 bucket using CloudFront.

How do I redirect all http://example.com/ requests to http://www.example.com


Solution

  • There is a feature in S3 where you can to this. Select a bucket, in Properties under Static Web Hosting select Redirect all requests to another host name.

    Update from comment: Add a cname in your domain setup for example.com to point to your bucket endpoint and a cname for your www.example.com to point to the cloudfront endpoint.
