You’re my hero this last week. I was stuck on a few issues while making a website and stumbled across your videos. Finally, after wading through a sea of examples that got me 85% of the way there, your videos included that last 15% of detail I needed. Thank you!

[segroegburner]

Thanks for these vids, got a project where I saved the images locally and this surely seems like the 2023 way of doing it

[Mrshweta]

Great video!! Helped me a lot.
Note: Now AWS suggests using OAC instead of OAI

Bro loving your content, watched your old S3 and new S3 setup videos and they were great, then have been thinking about how I am going to get cloudfront set up and this pops up.

Would be nice if you had a folder for your AWS setup content, I don't think I saw one when I looked on your profile.

[redkrystal]

nice clear straight to the point. none of that nonsense with Indian accent etc... thanks man. keep it up

[velara]

Thank you! I think that they changed the settings for OAI to something else because I can't find anything that says OAI. What I see when creating a Cloudfront Distribution:

Origin access:
- Public
- Origin access control settings (recommended)
- Legacy access identities

On Origin access info it says:
"You can limit S3 bucket access to only authenticated requests from CloudFront. We recommend using origin access control (OAC) in favor of origin access identity (OAI) for its wider range of features, including support of S3 buckets in all AWS Regions."
