Amazon has just announced a new private content feature for their CloudFront content distribution service.
This feature allows you to control access to S3 objects you distribute through CloudFront by making them available only through specific distributions, or by requiring the use of signed URLs that you generate and provide to privileged users.
As of this evening the latest JetS3t codebase (available from the CVS repository) has full support for the new features, including the ability to:
- create and update private distributions
- manage Origin Access Identifiers, which are required for private distributions
- generate canned and custom-policy signed URLs for private distributions that require request signing.
These new features are not yet available in a stable packaged release but I plan to provide the next stable version before the end of November.
