www DNS record with GCP static website using CloudFare

Question

I am hosting a small static website on a Google Cloud bucket. My website is pierre-alexandre.io and my bucket has the same name. I am using CloudFare as a DNS and the website is currently accessible with those urls:

• https://pierre-alexandre.io
• pierre-alexandre.io which redirects to https://pierre-alexandre.io

I added a new CName record to handle the www.pierre-alexandre.io url but it's telling me I should have bucket called www.pierre-alexandre.io instead of pierre-alexandre.io

<Error>
<Code>NoSuchBucket</Code>
<Message>The specified bucket does not exist.</Message>
</Error>

Do you know what would be the proper way to fix it?

Answer 1

There is no way to access a bucket using multiple CNAME records. Your URL must be the same with GCP bucket name whether it is root or sub. I think forwarding the url 

pierre.alexandre.io 

to

www.pierre.alexandre.io

This is the only option that works.

Refer here to how to use URL forwarding on Cloud Fare 

Or you can workaround to having a secondary GCP bucket named your subdomain like 

www.pierre.alexandre.io
