@aws-cdk/aws-s3

What is @aws-cdk/aws-s3?

@aws-cdk/aws-s3 is an AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) library that allows you to define Amazon S3 buckets and related resources using code. This package provides a high-level, object-oriented abstraction to create and manage S3 buckets, configure bucket policies, set up event notifications, and more.

What are @aws-cdk/aws-s3's main functionalities?

Create an S3 Bucket

This code sample demonstrates how to create a versioned S3 bucket with a removal policy that destroys the bucket when the stack is deleted.

const s3 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');

class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyFirstBucket', {
      versioned: true,
      removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
    });
  }
}

const app = new cdk.App();
new MyStack(app, 'MyStack');

Add Bucket Policy

This code sample shows how to add a bucket policy to an S3 bucket, allowing any principal to perform the 's3:GetObject' action on all objects in the bucket.

const s3 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');

class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const bucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyBucket');

    bucket.addToResourcePolicy(new cdk.aws_iam.PolicyStatement({
      actions: ['s3:GetObject'],
      resources: [bucket.arnForObjects('*')],
      principals: [new cdk.aws_iam.AnyPrincipal()],
    }));
  }
}

const app = new cdk.App();
new MyStack(app, 'MyStack');

Enable Event Notifications

This code sample demonstrates how to enable event notifications for an S3 bucket. It sets up a notification to an SNS topic whenever an object is created in the bucket.

const s3 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3');
const cdk = require('@aws-cdk/core');
const sns = require('@aws-cdk/aws-sns');
const s3n = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3-notifications');

class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const bucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyBucket');
    const topic = new sns.Topic(this, 'MyTopic');

    bucket.addEventNotification(s3.EventType.OBJECT_CREATED, new s3n.SnsDestination(topic));
  }
}

const app = new cdk.App();
new MyStack(app, 'MyStack');

Other packages similar to @aws-cdk/aws-s3

aws-sdk

The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, which provides low-level APIs for interacting with AWS services, including S3. Unlike @aws-cdk/aws-s3, which is used for defining infrastructure as code, aws-sdk is used for making API calls to AWS services at runtime.

serverless

The serverless package is a framework for building and deploying serverless applications on AWS and other cloud providers. It allows you to define S3 buckets and other resources in a serverless.yml configuration file. While it provides similar functionalities, it is more focused on serverless architectures and deployments.

terraform

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage hundreds of cloud services. It allows you to define S3 buckets and other AWS resources using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform is cloud-agnostic and can manage resources across multiple cloud providers.

Amazon S3 Construct Library

---

---

Define an unencrypted S3 bucket.

new Bucket(this, 'MyFirstBucket');

Bucket constructs expose the following deploy-time attributes:

• bucketArn - the ARN of the bucket (i.e. arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name)
• bucketName - the name of the bucket (i.e. bucket_name)
• bucketWebsiteUrl - the Website URL of the bucket (i.e. http://bucket_name.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com)
• bucketDomainName - the URL of the bucket (i.e. bucket_name.s3.amazonaws.com)
• bucketDualStackDomainName - the dual-stack URL of the bucket (i.e. bucket_name.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com)
• bucketRegionalDomainName - the regional URL of the bucket (i.e. bucket_name.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com)
• arnForObjects(pattern) - the ARN of an object or objects within the bucket (i.e. arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/exampleobject.png or arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/Development/*)
• urlForObject(key) - the URL of an object within the bucket (i.e. https://s3.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn/china-bucket/mykey)

Encryption

Define a KMS-encrypted bucket:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyUnencryptedBucket', {
    encryption: BucketEncryption.KMS
});

// you can access the encryption key:
assert(bucket.encryptionKey instanceof kms.Key);

You can also supply your own key:

const myKmsKey = new kms.Key(this, 'MyKey');

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyEncryptedBucket', {
    encryption: BucketEncryption.KMS,
    encryptionKey: myKmsKey
});

assert(bucket.encryptionKey === myKmsKey);

Use BucketEncryption.ManagedKms to use the S3 master KMS key:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'Buck', {
    encryption: BucketEncryption.KMS_MANAGED
});

assert(bucket.encryptionKey == null);

Permissions

A bucket policy will be automatically created for the bucket upon the first call to addToResourcePolicy(statement):

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBucket');
bucket.addToResourcePolicy(new iam.PolicyStatement({
  actions: ['s3:GetObject'],
  resources: [bucket.arnForObjects('file.txt')],
  principals: [new iam.AccountRootPrincipal()],
}));

Most of the time, you won't have to manipulate the bucket policy directly. Instead, buckets have "grant" methods called to give prepackaged sets of permissions to other resources. For example:

const lambda = new lambda.Function(this, 'Lambda', { /* ... */ });

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBucket');
bucket.grantReadWrite(lambda);

Will give the Lambda's execution role permissions to read and write from the bucket.

Sharing buckets between stacks

To use a bucket in a different stack in the same CDK application, pass the object to the other stack:

Importing existing buckets

To import an existing bucket into your CDK application, use the Bucket.fromBucketAttributes factory method. This method accepts BucketAttributes which describes the properties of an already existing bucket:

const bucket = Bucket.fromBucketAttributes(this, 'ImportedBucket', {
    bucketArn: 'arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket'
});

// now you can just call methods on the bucket
bucket.grantReadWrite(user);

Alternatively, short-hand factories are available as Bucket.fromBucketName and Bucket.fromBucketArn, which will derive all bucket attributes from the bucket name or ARN respectively:

const byName = Bucket.fromBucketName(this, 'BucketByName', 'my-bucket');
const byArn  = Bucket.fromBucketArn(this, 'BucketByArn', 'arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket');

Bucket Notifications

The Amazon S3 notification feature enables you to receive notifications when certain events happen in your bucket as described under S3 Bucket Notifications of the S3 Developer Guide.

To subscribe for bucket notifications, use the bucket.addEventNotification method. The bucket.addObjectCreatedNotification and bucket.addObjectRemovedNotification can also be used for these common use cases.

The following example will subscribe an SNS topic to be notified of all s3:ObjectCreated:* events:

import s3n = require('@aws-cdk/aws-s3-notifications');

const myTopic = new sns.Topic(this, 'MyTopic');
bucket.addEventNotification(s3.EventType.OBJECT_CREATED, new s3n.SnsDestination(topic));

This call will also ensure that the topic policy can accept notifications for this specific bucket.

Supported S3 notification targets are exposed by the @aws-cdk/aws-s3-notifications package.

It is also possible to specify S3 object key filters when subscribing. The following example will notify myQueue when objects prefixed with foo/ and have the .jpg suffix are removed from the bucket.

bucket.addEventNotification(s3.EventType.OBJECT_REMOVED,
  new s3n.SqsDestination(myQueue),
  { prefix: 'foo/', suffix: '.jpg' });

Block Public Access

Use blockPublicAccess to specify block public access settings on the bucket.

Enable all block public access settings:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBlockedBucket', {
    blockPublicAccess: BlockPublicAccess.BLOCK_ALL
});

Block and ignore public ACLs:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBlockedBucket', {
    blockPublicAccess: BlockPublicAccess.BLOCK_ACLS
});

Alternatively, specify the settings manually:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBlockedBucket', {
    blockPublicAccess: new BlockPublicAccess({ blockPublicPolicy: true })
});

When blockPublicPolicy is set to true, grantPublicRead() throws an error.

Logging configuration

Use serverAccessLogsBucket to describe where server access logs are to be stored.

const accessLogsBucket = new Bucket(this, 'AccessLogsBucket');

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBucket', {
  serverAccessLogsBucket: accessLogsBucket,
});

It's also possible to specify a prefix for Amazon S3 to assign to all log object keys.

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyBucket', {
  serverAccessLogsBucket: accessLogsBucket,
  serverAccessLogsPrefix: 'logs'
});

Website redirection

You can use the two following properties to specify the bucket redirection policy. Please note that these methods cannot both be applied to the same bucket.

Static redirection

You can statically redirect a to a given Bucket URL or any other host name with websiteRedirect:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyRedirectedBucket', {
    websiteRedirect: { hostName: 'www.example.com' }
});

Routing rules

Alternatively, you can also define multiple websiteRoutingRules, to define complex, conditional redirections:

const bucket = new Bucket(this, 'MyRedirectedBucket', {
  websiteRoutingRules: [{
    hostName: 'www.example.com',
    httpRedirectCode: '302',
    protocol: RedirectProtocol.HTTPS,
    replaceKey: ReplaceKey.prefixWith('test/'),
    condition: {
      httpErrorCodeReturnedEquals: '200',
      keyPrefixEquals: 'prefix',
    }
  }]
});

Filling the bucket as part of deployment

To put files into a bucket as part of a deployment (for example, to host a website), see the @aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment package, which provides a resource that can do just that.
