title: Amazon S3 bucket public read policy
---
body:
After migrating the blog to a PaaS service I had a proble that the disk space
was volatile and I had to store the images and binary files on another server
or CDN. After thinking for a while I decied to give a try to amazon S3.
Created a bucket that I'm going to use as CDN for now on, but geeking around I
saw that the permissions are modified by file, not by folder/bucket. Searching
aroung the docs I found the policies, that are JSON strings wich include
properties for the entire bucket.
For making a read-only public bucket you need this:
``` js
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Statement": [{
"Sid": "AllowPublicRead",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": ["s3:GetObject"],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::/*"]
}]
}
```
Replace <bucket name> for yours and apply changes. With this the entire
bucket will be publicy accesible, but if you want to be more restrictive, you
may specify a subfolder:
``` js
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::<bucket>/<path>/*"]
```
Hope this helps.
