Supported cloud providers
Cloud Connector currently supports the following cloud providers and services:
- Amazon Web Services - S3
- Google Cloud Platform - Cloud Storage
- Microsoft Azure - Blob Storage
The hostname of your S3 bucket URL must have one of the following formats (where * is a wildcard character):
*s3.amazonaws.com*s3-website.<REGION>.amazonaws.com*s3.<REGION>.amazonaws.com*s3-website-<REGION>.amazonaws.com
Cloud Connector supports both subdomain and URI path-style URLs:
- Subdomain-style URLs: Set the hostname to
<BUCKET_NAME>.s3.amazonaws.com. In this case, your files are accessible directly under the root of the bucket. For example,https://example.com/index.htmlwill map tohttps://<BUCKET_NAME>.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html. - URI path-style URLs: Set the hostname to
s3.amazonaws.com. Here, your bucket name must be part of the URI path in your requests. For example, if your bucket name is<BUCKET_NAME>, files will be available on paths likehttps://example.com/<BUCKET_NAME>/index.html, and your Cloud Connector rule should filter traffic based on the URI path starting with/<BUCKET_NAME>.
- Go to the Amazon S3 console ↗ and select Buckets in the navigation pane.
- Select the bucket name.
- Go to the Properties tab.
- Select the Static Website Hosting card. The Endpoint field shows your bucket URL.
For more information, refer to the Configuring an Amazon Web Services static site to use Cloudflare tutorial and Amazon S3 documentation ↗.
The hostname of your Cloud Storage bucket URL must be the following (where * is a wildcard character):
*storage.googleapis.com*storage.cloud.google.com
Cloud Connector supports both subdomain and URI path-style URLs:
- Subdomain-style URLs: Set the hostname to
<BUCKET_NAME>.storage.googleapis.com. In this case, your files are accessible directly under the root of the bucket. For example,https://example.com/index.htmlwill map tohttps://<BUCKET_NAME>.storage.googleapis.com/index.html. - URI path-style URLs: Set the hostname to
storage.googleapis.com. Here, your bucket name must be part of the URI path in your requests. For example, if your bucket name is<BUCKET_NAME>, files will be available on paths likehttps://example.com/<BUCKET_NAME>/index.html, and your Cloud Connector rule should filter traffic based on the URI path starting with/<BUCKET_NAME>.
-
Go to the Google Cloud console ↗ and select Buckets.
-
Select the bucket name.
-
For one of the files already in the bucket, select the link icon in the Public column to copy the file’s public URL to the clipboard. The file URL will have the following format:
https://storage.googleapis.com/<BUCKET_NAME>/<OBJECT_NAME>To obtain the subdomain bucket URL, refactor the file URL to
<BUCKET_NAME>.storage.googleapis.comformat.
To obtain the URI path bucket URL, removehttps://and/<BUCKET_NAME>/<OBJECT_NAME>from the file URL.
If the files in your bucket are not publicly accessible, you must change the bucket permissions. For details, refer to the Google Cloud Storage documentation ↗.
The hostname of your Blob Storage bucket URL must have one of the following formats:
<BUCKET_NAME>.blob.core.windows.net<BUCKET_NAME>.web.core.windows.net
For Azure Blog Storage, Cloud Connector supports only subdomain URLs like <BUCKET_NAME>.blob.core.windows.net. This means that your files will be accessible directly under the root of the bucket. For example, https://example.com/index.html will map to https://<BUCKET_NAME>.blob.core.windows.net/index.html.
- Go to the Azure portal ↗ and select your storage account.
- In the menu pane, under Settings, select Endpoints.
- Get your bucket URL from the Blob service endpoint or the Static website endpoint.
If the blob container is not configured for public access, you must change the container settings. For details, refer to the Azure Storage documentation ↗.
