Support S3 regional redirect (new AWS feature)

[Jamie-BitFlight]

what

Add support for regional S3 endpoint

why

• CloudFront now allows specifying S3 regional endpoint when creating S3 origin.
• By default, CloudFront still uses global endpoint convention on console but one can manually enter the regional endpoint and avoid redirects.

Would you mind updating the TF to use the regional endpoint in cloudfront?

@Jamie-BitFlight sounds interesting. Would can take a look at it.

Could you link us to (a) the announcement (b) terraform documentation for the feature? If it was recently, added, it might not yet be supported by the terraform-aws-provider.

Sorry it was from this AWS employee saying it:

I have tested changing the url within cloudfront manually in the console and it is currently working too.

Thanks @Jamie-BitFlight! At this time we cannot prioritize the feature as it's not been requested by one of our clients. We'll leave the issue open. If someone submits a PR, we'll promptly review it.

Hi,
This is not related to terraform-aws-provider support: all you need to do is update the s3 bucket url in the cloudfront s3 origin config to use the regional api instead of the global one.

For example:
http://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/ -> http://my-bucket.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com

see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html for the full list of regional endpoints

thanks @ebarault! @Jamie-BitFlight let me know if this works for you.

FYI there's a PR to expose the regional endpoint so it doesn't need to be constructed: hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#4556

Thanks @kitsunde. Keep us posted.

I've added a constructed regional endpoint option in this pull request. #17
