This repository demonstrates how to deploy a static website to AWS using S3, Route 53, CloudFront, and ACM.
-
Static Website Content: Your website content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.) is stored in an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting.
-
Amazon CloudFront: CloudFront is used as a content delivery network (CDN) to cache and serve your website content globally, reducing latency and improving performance.
-
Amazon Route 53: Route 53 is used for DNS management. If you have a custom domain, Route 53 handles DNS resolution and routes traffic to your CloudFront distribution.
-
AWS Certificate Manager (ACM): ACM provides SSL/TLS certificates for your custom domain, ensuring secure HTTPS connections to your website.
- An AWS account with appropriate permissions to create and manage S3 buckets, CloudFront distributions, Route 53 hosted zones, and ACM certificates.
- AWS CLI installed and configured with appropriate credentials.
-
Set up S3 Bucket:
- Create an S3 bucket and enable static website hosting.
- Upload your website content to the bucket.
-
Configure CloudFront Distribution:
- Create a CloudFront distribution with your S3 bucket as the origin.
- Configure caching behavior and other settings as needed.
-
Obtain ACM Certificate:
- Request an SSL/TLS certificate from ACM for your custom domain (if applicable).
- Validate domain ownership (if using a custom domain).
-
Set up Route 53 (if using a custom domain):
- Create a hosted zone in Route 53.
- Add DNS records to route traffic to your CloudFront distribution.
-
Deploy Website:
- Update your website code as needed.
- Use AWS CLI or deployment scripts to sync the updated content to your S3 bucket.
- Invalidate CloudFront cache if necessary.
