8. Click OK.
9. In the bucket list, click the bucket to which requests for the static website are redirected.
10. (Optional) If the static website files in the bucket are not accessible to anonymous users, perform this step. If they are already accessible to everyone, skip this step.

    Grant the read permission for static website files to anonymous users. For details, see Granting Public Read Permissions on Objects to Anonymous Users.

    If the bucket contains only static website files, configure the Public Read policy for the bucket so that all files in it are publicly accessible.

    1. Choose Permissions > Bucket Policy.
    2. Click Create Bucket Policy.
    3. In the template list, locate Public Read in the Template Name column and click Use Policy Template on the right.
