How do I 301 redirect a single page on my Cloudfront/ S3 hosted web page? – Amazon Web Sevices

I use an AWS Cloudfront + S3 solution to host my website.

I redirect all naked domain and vanilla HTTP requests to the prefix https://www.example.com.

The following S3 Cloudfront Architecture cartoon captures my approach:

Cloudfront + S3 approach

In addition to the existing logic, I would like to also redirect a single page, namely:

https://www.example.com/category/coins/

to

https://www.example.com/cat/coins.html

I tried to do this via the S3 buckets redirect rules and received a 301 redirect to the bucket address, and not the cloudfront endpoint.

e.g.

http://www.example.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cat/coins.html

How can I correctly redirect this particular page?

    I used the following to redirect certain pages:

    
[
    {
        "Condition": {
            "KeyPrefixEquals": "category/data-science"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "john.soban.ski",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyWith": "cat/data-science.html"
        }
    },
    {
        "Condition": {
            "KeyPrefixEquals": "category/coins"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "john.soban.ski",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyWith": "cat/coins.html"
        }
    },
    {
        "Condition": {
            "KeyPrefixEquals": "category/ietf"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "john.soban.ski",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyWith": "cat/ietf.html"
        }
    },
    {
        "Condition": {
            "KeyPrefixEquals": "category/howto"
        },
        "Redirect": {
            "HostName": "john.soban.ski",
            "Protocol": "https",
            "ReplaceKeyWith": "cat/howto.html"
        }
    }

    AWS provides documentation on how to redirect with CloudFront and that are Viewer Request Functions.

    S3 also has documentation on how to do redirects based on different hosts

    • Configure Host name in S3 (S3 -> Properties -> Static website hosting -> Host name). This may rewrite the domain part (I’m not 100% sure)
    • Advanced redirection rules allow to replace paths with different keys which should definitely work. There is an example on the page that fits the question
