How to link an bucket at a distribution?

Question

I can create a s3 Amazon bucket, and I can create a Cloudfront distribution, but the missing thing, is that I have no idea how to set the bucket into a distribution point?

How would I get my uploaded files to a bucket to be served via Cloudfront distribution?

Answer 1

1 - Create your S3 bucket
2 - Create a new CloudFront distribution
3 - Inside CloudFront, click in the Origin Settings > Origin Domain Name select the appropriate S3 bucket (the drop down list will have append .amazonaws.com to your bucket name)

I think that's it.

Once you've finished creating the distribution you'll get a domain name to use for your cloudflare assets.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Not sure if you meant to tag this as CloudFlare. If yes, we have some tips about CloudFlare and S3 that might help relative to your CloudFlare DNS settings.
