Amazon S3 Announces Support for Bucket Policies

Posted on: Jul 6, 2010

We are pleased to announce beta support for Amazon S3 bucket policies, which gives customers the ability to create conditional rules for managing access to their buckets and objects. Bucket policies can restrict access based on AWS account as well as request-based attributes, such as HTTP referrer and IP address. With bucket policies, customers can also now define security rules that apply to more than one object, including all objects or a subset of objects within a bucket. For more information, please refer to the Amazon S3 FAQs and Developer Guide.
