I want to host a HTTPS-only static website using Amazon S3 and CloudFront. Here's what I've done so far:
www subdomain pointing to the CloudFront bucket.So far, so good - I can access my website using the www.example.com address. However, I want the site to be available via HTTPS only, for which I bought an SSL certificate from GoDaddy.
Now, the question is:

You'll want to use your new SSL certificate with your S3 bucket by linking them with CloudFront, a content delivery network (CDN) service that can also add HTTPS to your S3 resources.To activate CloudFront,go to the CloudFront Dashboard and click “Create Distribution,” — you'll then be taken to a few pages of settings.
You can use Amazon S3 to host a static website. On a static website, individual webpages include static content. They might also contain client-side scripts. By contrast, a dynamic website relies on server-side processing, including server-side scripts, such as PHP, JSP, or ASP.NET.
Yes, as of today you can do it at no charge.
You can now use HTTPS with CNAMEs on CloudFront as it now supports custom SSL certificates using Server Name Indication (SNI): http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2014/03/server-name-indication-sni-and-http-redirection-for-amazon-cloudfront.html
I managed to set up a free Class 1 StartSSL cert for my CloudFront distributed static site on S3 without too much trouble (see: CloudFront error when serving over HTTPS using SNI).
