AWS S3 Manual Setup

Setting up AWS S3 Bucket for storing cypress recordings

The following configuration is already included in CloudFormation setup

• Create a new S3 bucket, enable public access (uncheck Block all public access)

• Set bucket's CORS configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
    <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
    <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>DELETE</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

or for new AWS dashboard:

[
  {
    "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
    "AllowedMethods": ["POST", "GET", "PUT", "DELETE", "HEAD"],
    "AllowedOrigins": ["*"],
    "ExposeHeaders": []
  }
]

• Open IAM dashboard

• Create new user, enable programmatic access. Keep the access key and the secret.

• Create and attach the policy to the user:

  {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
          {
              "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
              "Effect": "Allow",
              "Action": [
                  "s3:PutObject",
                  "s3:PutObjectAcl"
              ],
              "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::<your-bucket-name>/*"
          }
      ]
  }
