Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) in Lightsail
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) defines a way for client web applications that are loaded in one domain to interact with resources in a different domain. With CORS support, you can build rich client-side web applications with Lightsail object storage and selectively allow cross-origin access to your bucket resources. For more information about CORS, see What is CORS?
This section shows you how to configure CORS for your Lightsail buckets using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). To configure your bucket to allow cross-origin requests, you add a CORS configuration to the bucket using a JSON document that defines rules identifying the origins you will allow to access your bucket, the operations (HTTP methods) supported for each origin, and other operation-specific information.

CORS use cases
The following example scenario details how you might need to configure CORS with Lightsail buckets.
Scenario: Web font hosting
Suppose you want to host web fonts from your Lightsail bucket. Browsers require a CORS check (also called a preflight check) for loading web fonts. You would configure the bucket hosting the web font to allow any origin to make these requests.
