How to resolve the AWS CLI S3 a Client Error (403)?

226    Asked by ChristianParsons in AWS , Asked on Aug 2, 2023

I want to set up the Amazon Linux AMI (ami-f0091d91). There is a script that runs a copy command to copy from S3 bucket.

Aws – – debug s3 cp s3://aws-codedeploy-us-west-2/latest/codedeploy-agent.noarch.

The script goes well on the local desktop but fails displaying the error code on the Amazon image:

Why is the error message being shown while calling the headobject operation?

Answered by Diane Carr

You must verify if the given policy offers total access to S3, Also, if you wish to access objects in the s3 bucket, then the following code must be used:

“Resource”: “arn:aws:s3::::BUCKET_NAME/*”
Instead of this,
“Resource”:”arn:AWS:s3:::;BUCKET_NAME”

The initial statement offers total access to the objects present in the s3 bucket. If this is not the issue, see if the EC@ instances and buckets are in the same areas. If not, then the error message will be seen. Ensure that EC@ instances and buckets are in the identical reas. This will erase the error 403 while calling the headobject  operation:forbidden.

Also, maybe you are deploying the instance’s IAM role to create the request explaining x-amz-security-token– temporary details from the role. The role forbids access to S# and the bucket does not give access with the details although it's public. Ensure that the system clock is updated because the HEAD allows the error body to be suppressed.
