As announced on December 14, Amazon S3 is now deploying two new default bucket security settings by automatically enabling S3 Block Public Access and disabling S3 access control lists (ACLs) for all new S3 buckets. To learn more, visit S3 Block Public Access and S3 Object Ownership in the S3 User Guide or the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide (S3 Block Public Access – S3 Object Ownership).

These new default security settings are deploying to all new S3 buckets in all Amazon Web Services Regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. We will publish another What’s New post when the deployment has reached all Amazon Web Services Regions.
