Answer: Save the S3 key for each user's profile photo in a DynamoDB table and use a lambda function to dynamically generate a pre-signed URL. Reference this URL for display via the web application
"Save the S3 key for each user's profile photo in a DynamoDB table and use a lambda function to dynamically generate a pre-signed URL. Reference this URL for display via the web application" On Amazon S3, all objects by default are private. Only the object owner has permission to access these objects. However, the object owner can optionally share objects with others by creating a pre-signed URL, using their own security credentials, to grant time-limited permission to download the objects. You can also use an IAM instance profile to create a pre-signed URL. When you create a pre-signed URL for your object, you must provide your security credentials, specify a bucket name, an object key, specify the HTTP method (GET to download the object), and expiration date and time. The pre-signed URLs are valid only for the specified duration. So for the given use-case, the object key can be retrieved from the DynamoDB table, and then the application can generate the pre-signed URL using the IAM instance profile.
