AWS S3 Subresources

AWS S3 Subresources

  • S3 Subresources provides support to store, and manage the bucket configuration information.
  • S3 subresources only exist in the context of a specific bucket or object
  • S3 subresources are associated with buckets and objects.
  • S3 Subresources are subordinates to objects; i.e. they do not exist on their own, they are always associated with some other entity, such as an object or a bucket.
  • S3 supports various options to configure a bucket for e.g., the bucket can be configured for website hosting, configuration added to manage the lifecycle of objects in the bucket, and to log all access to the bucket.

S3 Object Lifecycle

Refer blog post @ S3 Object Lifecycle Management

Static Website Hosting

  • S3 can be used for Static Website hosting with Client-side scripts.
  • S3 does not support server-side scripting.
  • S3, in conjunction with Route 53, supports hosting a website at the root domain which can point to the S3 website endpoint
  • S3 website endpoints do not support HTTPS or access points
  • For S3 website hosting the content should be made publicly readable which can be provided using a bucket policy or an ACL on an object.
  • Users can configure the index, and error document as well as configure the conditional routing of an object name
  • Bucket policy applies only to objects owned by the bucket owner. If the bucket contains objects not owned by the bucket owner, then public READ permission on those objects should be granted using the object ACL.
  • Requester Pays buckets or DevPay buckets do not allow access through the website endpoint. Any request to such a bucket will receive a 403 -Access Denied response

Policy & Access Control List (ACL)

Refer blog post @ S3 Permissions

CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing)

  • All browsers implement the Same-Origin policy, for security reasons, where the web page from a domain can only request resources from the same domain.
  • CORS allows client web applications loaded in one domain access to the restricted resources to be requested from another domain.
  • With CORS support, S3 allows cross-origin access to S3 resources
  • CORS configuration rules identify the origins allowed to access the bucket, the operations (HTTP methods) that would be supported for each origin, and other operation-specific information.

S3 Access Logs

  • S3 Access Logs enable tracking access requests to an S3 bucket.
  • S3 Access logs are disabled by default.
  • Each access log record provides details about a single access request, such as the requester, bucket name, request time, request action, response status, and error code, etc.
  • Access log information can be useful in security and access audits and also help learn about the customer base and understand the S3 bill.
  • S3 periodically collects access log records, consolidates the records in log files, and then uploads log files to a target bucket as log objects.
  • Logging can be enabled on multiple source buckets with the same target bucket which will have access logs for all those source buckets, but each log object will report access log records for a specific source bucket.
  • Source and target buckets should be in the same region.
  • Source and target buckets should be different to avoid an infinite loop of logs issue.
  • Target bucket can be encrypted using SSS-S3 default encryption. However, Default encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS) is not supported.
  • S3 Object Lock cannot be enabled on the target bucket.
  •  S3 uses a special log delivery account to write server access logs.
    • AWS recommends updating the bucket policy on the target bucket to grant access to the logging service principal (logging.s3.amazonaws.com) for access log delivery.
    • Access for access log delivery can also be granted to the S3 log delivery group through the bucket ACL. Granting access to the S3 log delivery group using your bucket ACL is not recommended.
  • Access log records are delivered on a best-effort basis. The completeness and timeliness of server logging is not guaranteed i.e. log record for a particular request might be delivered long after the request was actually processed, or it might not be delivered at all.
  • S3 Access Logs can be analyzed using data analysis tools or Athena.

Tagging

  • S3 provides the tagging subresource to store and manage tags on a bucket
  • Cost allocation tags can be added to the bucket to categorize and track AWS costs.
  • AWS can generate a cost allocation report with usage and costs aggregated by the tags applied to the buckets.

Location

  • AWS region needs to be specified during bucket creation and it cannot be changed.
  • S3 stores this information in the location subresource and provides an API for retrieving this information

Event Notifications

  • S3 notification feature enables notifications to be triggered when certain events happen in the bucket.
  • Notifications are enabled at the Bucket level
  • Notifications can be configured to be filtered by the prefix and suffix of the key name of objects. However, filtering rules cannot be defined with overlapping prefixes, overlapping suffixes, or prefix and suffix overlapping
  • S3 can publish the following events
    • New Object created events
      • Can be enabled for PUT, POST, or COPY operations
      • You will not receive event notifications from failed operations
    • Object Removal events
      • Can public delete events for object deletion, version object deletion or insertion of delete marker
      • You will not receive event notifications from automatic deletes from lifecycle policies or from failed operations.
    • Restore object events
      • restoration of objects archived to the S3 Glacier storage classes
    • Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) object lost events
      • Can be used to reproduce/recreate the Object
    • Replication events
      • for replication configurations that have S3 replication metrics or S3 Replication Time Control (S3 RTC) enabled
  • S3 can publish events to the following destination
  • For S3 to be able to publish events to the destination, the S3 principal should be granted the necessary permissions
  • S3 event notifications are designed to be delivered at least once. Typically, event notifications are delivered in seconds but can sometimes take a minute or longer.

Cross-Region Replication & Same-Region Replication

  • S3 Replication enables automatic, asynchronous copying of objects across S3 buckets in the same or different AWS regions.
  • S3 Cross-Region Replication – CRR is used to copy objects across S3 buckets in different AWS Regions.
  • S3 Same-Region Replication – SRR is used to copy objects across S3 buckets in the same AWS Regions.
  • S3 Replication helps to
    • Replicate objects while retaining metadata
    • Replicate objects into different storage classes
    • Maintain object copies under different ownership
    • Keep objects stored over multiple AWS Regions
    • Replicate objects within 15 minutes
  • S3 can replicate all or a subset of objects with specific key name prefixes
  • S3 encrypts all data in transit across AWS regions using SSL
  • Object replicas in the destination bucket are exact replicas of the objects in the source bucket with the same key names and the same metadata.
  • Objects may be replicated to a single destination bucket or multiple destination buckets.
  • Cross-Region Replication can be useful for the following scenarios:-
    • Compliance requirement to have data backed up across regions
    • Minimize latency to allow users across geography to access objects
    • Operational reasons compute clusters in two different regions that analyze the same set of objects
  • Same-Region Replication can be useful for the following scenarios:-
    • Aggregate logs into a single bucket
    • Configure live replication between production and test accounts
    • Abide by data sovereignty laws to store multiple copies
  • Replication Requirements
    • source and destination buckets must be versioning-enabled
    • for CRR, the source and destination buckets must be in different AWS regions.
    • S3 must have permission to replicate objects from that source bucket to the destination bucket on your behalf.
    • If the source bucket owner also owns the object, the bucket owner has full permission to replicate the object. If not, the source bucket owner must have permission for the S3 actions s3:GetObjectVersion and s3:GetObjectVersionACL to read the object and object ACL
    • Setting up cross-region replication in a cross-account scenario (where the source and destination buckets are owned by different AWS accounts), the source bucket owner must have permission to replicate objects in the destination bucket.
    • if the source bucket has S3 Object Lock enabled, the destination buckets must also have S3 Object Lock enabled.
    • destination buckets cannot be configured as Requester Pays buckets
  • Replicated & Not Replicated
    • Only new objects created after you add a replication configuration are replicated. S3 does NOT retroactively replicate objects that existed before you added replication configuration.
    • Objects encrypted using customer provided keys (SSE-C), objects encrypted at rest under an S3 managed key (SSE-S3) or a KMS key stored in AWS Key Management Service (SSE-KMS).
    • S3 replicates only objects in the source bucket for which the bucket owner has permission to read objects and read ACLs
    • Any object ACL updates are replicated, although there can be some delay before S3 can bring the two in sync. This applies only to objects created after you add a replication configuration to the bucket.
    • S3 does NOT replicate objects in the source bucket for which the bucket owner does not have permission.
    • Updates to bucket-level S3 subresources are NOT replicated, allowing different bucket configurations on the source and destination buckets
    • Only customer actions are replicated & actions performed by lifecycle configuration are NOT replicated
    • Replication chaining is NOT allowed, Objects in the source bucket that are replicas, created by another replication, are NOT replicated.
    • S3 does NOT replicate the delete marker by default. However, you can add delete marker replication to non-tag-based rules to override it.
    • S3 does NOT replicate deletion by object version ID. This protects data from malicious deletions.

S3 Inventory

  • S3 Inventory helps manage the storage and can be used to audit and report on the replication and encryption status of the objects for business, compliance, and regulatory needs.
  • S3 inventory provides a scheduled alternative to the S3 synchronous List API operation.
  • S3 inventory provides CSV, ORC, or Apache Parquet output files that list the objects and their corresponding metadata on a daily or weekly basis for an S3 bucket or a shared prefix.

Requester Pays

  • By default, buckets are owned by the AWS account that created it (the bucket owner) and the AWS account pays for storage costs, downloads, and data transfer charges associated with the bucket.
  • Using Requester Pays subresource:-
    • Bucket owner specifies that the requester requesting the download will be charged for the download
    • However, the bucket owner still pays the storage costs
  • Enabling Requester Pays on a bucket
    • disables anonymous access to that bucket
    • does not support BitTorrent
    • does not support SOAP requests
    • cannot be enabled for end-user logging bucket

Torrent

  • Default distribution mechanism for S3 data is via client/server download
  • Bucket owner bears the cost of Storage as well as the request and transfer charges which can increase linearly for a popular object
  • S3 also supports the BitTorrent protocol
    • BitTorrent is an open-source Internet distribution protocol
    • BitTorrent addresses this problem by recruiting the very clients that are downloading the object as distributors themselves
    • S3 bandwidth rates are inexpensive, but BitTorrent allows developers to further save on bandwidth costs for a popular piece of data by letting users download from Amazon and other users simultaneously
  • Benefit for a publisher is that for large, popular files the amount of data actually supplied by S3 can be substantially lower than what it would have been serving the same clients via client/server download
  • Any object in S3 that is publicly available and can be read anonymously can be downloaded via BitTorrent
  • Torrent file can be retrieved for any publicly available object by simply adding a “?torrent” query string parameter at the end of the REST GET request for the object
  • Generating the .torrent for an object takes time proportional to the size of that object, so its recommended to make a first torrent request yourself to generate the file so that subsequent requests are faster
  • Torrent is enabled only for objects that are less than 5 GB in size.
  • Torrent subresource can only be retrieved, and cannot be created, updated, or deleted

AWS S3 Permissions

AWS S3 Permissions

  • By default, all S3 buckets, objects, and related subresources are private.
  • Only the Resource owner, the AWS account (not the user) that creates the resource, can access the resource.
  • Resource owner can be
    • AWS account that creates the bucket or object owns those resources
    • If an IAM user creates the bucket or object, the AWS account of the IAM user owns the resource
    • If the bucket owner grants cross-account permissions to other AWS account users to upload objects to the buckets, the objects are owned by the AWS account of the user who uploaded the object and not the bucket owner except for the following conditions
      • Bucket owner can deny access to the object, as it is still the bucket owner who pays for the object
      • Bucket owner can delete or apply archival rules to the object and perform restoration
  • User is the AWS Account or the IAM user who access the resource
  • Bucket owner is the AWS account that created a bucket
  • Object owner is the AWS account that uploads the object to a bucket, not owned by the account
  • S3 permissions are classified into
    • Resource based policies and
    • User policies

User Policies

  • User policies use IAM with S3 to control the type of access a user or group of users has to specific parts of an S3 bucket the AWS account owns
  • User policy is always attached to a User, Group, or a Role
  • Anonymous permissions cannot be granted
  • If an AWS account that owns a bucket wants to grant permission to users in its account, it can use either a bucket policy or a user policy

Resource-Based policies

  • Bucket policies and access control lists (ACLs) are resource-based because they are attached to the  S3 resources

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 5.57.36 PM

Bucket Policies

  • Bucket policy can be used to grant cross-account access to other AWS accounts or IAM users in other accounts for the bucket and objects in it.
  • Bucket policies provide centralized, access control to buckets and objects based on a variety of conditions, including S3 operations, requesters, resources, and aspects of the request (e.g. IP address)
  • If an AWS account that owns a bucket wants to grant permission to users in its account, it can use either a bucket policy or a user policy
  • Permissions attached to a bucket apply to all of the objects in that bucket created and owned by the bucket owner
  • Policies can either add or deny permissions across all (or a subset) of objects within a bucket
  • Only the bucket owner is allowed to associate a policy with a bucket
  • Bucket policies can cater to multiple use cases
    • Granting permissions to multiple accounts with added conditions
    • Granting read-only permission to an anonymous user
    • Limiting access to specific IP addresses
    • Restricting access to a specific HTTP referer
    • Restricting access to a specific HTTP header for e.g. to enforce encryption
    • Granting permission to a CloudFront OAI
    • Adding a bucket policy to require MFA
    • Granting cross-account permissions to upload objects while ensuring the bucket owner has full control
    • Granting permissions for S3 inventory and Amazon S3 analytics
    • Granting permissions for S3 Storage Lens

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

  • Each bucket and object has an ACL associated with it.
  • An ACL is a list of grants identifying grantee and permission granted
  • ACLs are used to grant basic read/write permissions on resources to other AWS accounts.
  • ACL supports limited permissions set and
    • cannot grant conditional permissions, nor can you explicitly deny permissions
    • cannot be used to grant permissions for bucket subresources
  • Permission can be granted to an AWS account by the email address or the canonical user ID (is just an obfuscated Account Id). If an email address is provided, S3 will still find the canonical user ID for the user and add it to the ACL.
  • It is Recommended to use Canonical user ID as email address would not be supported
  • Bucket ACL
    • Only recommended use case for the bucket ACL is to grant write permission to the S3 Log Delivery group to write access log objects to the bucket
    • Bucket ACL will help grant write permission on the bucket to the Log Delivery group if access log delivery is needed to the bucket
    • Only way you can grant necessary permissions to the Log Delivery group is via a bucket ACL
  • Object ACL
    • Object ACLs control only Object-level Permissions
    • Object ACL is the only way to manage permission to an object in the bucket not owned by the bucket owner i.e. If the bucket owner allows cross-account object uploads and if the object owner is different from the bucket owner, the only way for the object owner to grant permissions on the object is through Object ACL
    • If the Bucket and Object is owned by the same AWS account, Bucket policy can be used to manage the permissions
    • If the Object and User is owned by the same AWS account, User policy can be used to manage the permissions

S3 Request Authorization

When S3 receives a request, it must evaluate all the user policies, bucket policies, and ACLs to determine whether to authorize or deny the request.

S3 evaluates the policies in 3 context

  • User context is basically the context in which S3 evaluates the User policy that the parent AWS account (context authority) attaches to the user
  • Bucket context is the context in which S3 evaluates the access policies owned by the bucket owner (context authority) to check if the bucket owner has not explicitly denied access to the resource
  • Object context is the context where S3 evaluates policies owned by the Object owner (context authority)

Analogy

  • Consider 3 Parents (AWS Account) A, B and C with Child (IAM User) AA, BA and CA respectively
  • Parent A owns a Toy box (Bucket) with Toy AAA and also allows toys (Objects) to be dropped and picked up
  • Parent A can grant permission (User Policy OR Bucket policy OR both) to his Child AA to access the Toy box and the toys
  • Parent A can grant permissions (Bucket policy) to Parent B (different AWS account) to drop toys into the toys box. Parent B can grant permissions (User policy) to his Child BA to drop Toy BAA
  • Parent B can grant permissions (Object ACL) to Parent A to access Toy BAA
  • Parent A can grant permissions (Bucket Policy) to Parent C to pick up the Toy AAA who in turn can grant permission (User Policy) to his Child CA to access the toy
  • Parent A can grant permission (through IAM Role) to Parent C to pick up the Toy BAA who in turn can grant permission (User Policy) to his Child CA to access the toy

Bucket Operation Authorization

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 6.35.36 AM

  1. If the requester is an IAM user, the user must have permission (User Policy) from the parent AWS account to which it belongs
  2. Amazon S3 evaluates a subset of policies owned by the parent account. This subset of policies includes the user policy that the parent account attaches to the user.
  3. If the parent also owns the resource in the request (in this case, the bucket), Amazon S3 also evaluates the corresponding resource policies (bucket policy and bucket ACL) at the same time.
  4. Requester must also have permissions (Bucket Policy or ACL) from the bucket owner to perform a specific bucket operation.
  5. Amazon S3 evaluates a subset of policies owned by the AWS account that owns the bucket. The bucket owner can grant permission by using a bucket policy or bucket ACL.
  6. Note that, if the AWS account that owns the bucket is also the parent account of an IAM user, then it can configure bucket permissions in a user policy or bucket policy or both

Object Operation Authorization

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 6.39.54 AM

  1. If the requester is an IAM user, the user must have permission (User Policy) from the parent AWS account to which it belongs.
  2. Amazon S3 evaluates a subset of policies owned by the parent account. This subset of policies includes the user policy that the parent attaches to the user.
  3. If the parent also owns the resource in the request (bucket, object), Amazon S3 evaluates the corresponding resource policies (bucket policy, bucket ACL, and object ACL) at the same time.
  4. If the parent AWS account owns the resource (bucket or object), it can grant resource permissions to its IAM user by using either the user policy or the resource policy.
  5. S3 evaluates policies owned by the AWS account that owns the bucket.
  6. If the AWS account that owns the object in the request is not the same as the bucket owner, in the bucket context Amazon S3 checks the policies if the bucket owner has explicitly denied access to the object.
  7. If there is an explicit deny set on the object, Amazon S3 does not authorize the request.
  8. Requester must have permissions from the object owner (Object ACL) to perform a specific object operation.
  9. Amazon S3 evaluates the object ACL.
  10. If bucket and object owners are the same, access to the object can be granted in the bucket policy, which is evaluated in the bucket context.
  11. If the owners are different, the object owners must use an object ACL to grant permissions.
  12. If the AWS account that owns the object is also the parent account to which the IAM user belongs, it can configure object permissions in a user policy, which is evaluated in the user context.

Permission Delegation

  • If an AWS account owns a resource, it can grant those permissions to another AWS account.
  • That account can then delegate those permissions, or a subset of them, to users in the account. This is referred to as permission delegation.
  • But an account that receives permissions from another account cannot delegate permission cross-account to another AWS account.
  • If the Bucket owner wants to grant permission to the Object which does not belong to it to another AWS account it cannot do it through cross-account permissions and need to define an IAM role which can be assumed by the AWS account to gain access
