Cloudformation S3 bucket principal for Cloudfront

Question

I'm trying to create a Yaml template for cloudfront distribution on S3 bucket. I'm stuck on how to add principal on BucketPolicy.

I want to know how to replace the XXXXXXXXXXX on CloudFront Origin Access Identity XXXXXXXXXXX in principal for a cloudfront that will be generate by deploying the template.

Also is there a way to add the html, css sync procedure (which I'm doing through aws cli now) on yaml template?

Please let me know. TIA

Here is a valid sample of an S3 origin identity configuration for CloudFront:

  WebUIBucket:
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
  CloudFrontOriginIdentity:
    Type: AWS::CloudFront::CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity
    Properties:
      CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentityConfig:
        Comment: "origin identity"
  WebUIPolicy:
    Type: AWS::S3::BucketPolicy
    Properties: 
      Bucket:
        Ref: WebUIBucket
      PolicyDocument:
        Version: "2012-10-17"
        Statement:
          - Effect: Allow
            Principal:
              CanonicalUser:
                Fn::GetAtt: [ CloudFrontOriginIdentity , S3CanonicalUserId ]
            Action: "s3:GetObject"
            Resource: !Sub "${WebUIBucket.Arn}/*"
  WebpageCDN:
    Type: AWS::CloudFront::Distribution
    Properties:
      DistributionConfig:
        Origins:
          - DomainName: !Sub "${WebUIBucket}.s3.amazonaws.com"
            Id: webpage
            S3OriginConfig:
              OriginAccessIdentity: !Sub "origin-access-identity/cloudfront/${CloudFrontOriginIdentity}"

As for the syncing your assets into the S3 bucket, that cannot be provided with CloudFormation functionality. You either have to implement a CustomResource or keep using the CLI.

Thanks a lot @Jens !!

Your solution was a big help. I was getting TargetOriginId & ForwarededValues error while trying to deploy your template.

This is what worked for me -
