An Origin Access Identity (OAI) is a special AWS IAM role that CloudFront uses to access your S3 bucket. It allows CloudFront to read objects from the S3 bucket without requiring you to grant CloudFront public access to the bucket. It's crucial for avoiding 403 errors because it provides controlled access to your S3 content.
