Hosted a Static Website on Amazon S3

Hosted a Static Website on Amazon S3!

Hosting a static website on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

Lab Overview and Objectives: Explored the world of static websites – fixed content with no backend processing. Used Amazon S3 for hosting, uploading content, and making it publicly accessible. No servers needed!

Followed step-by-step instructions to access the AWS Management Console, ensuring a seamless experience.

Task 1: Creating a Bucket in Amazon S3: Created an S3 bucket for static website hosting. Configured settings, enabled public access, and added useful tags.

Task 2: Uploading Content to the Bucket: Downloaded HTML, JS, and CSS files, then uploaded them to the S3 bucket. Ensured smooth file upload and consistency.

Task 3: Enabling Access to Objects: Made the uploaded objects publicly accessible. Configured permissions to avoid 403 Forbidden errors. Ensured the website is visible to the public.

Task 4: Updating the Website: Updated the website by editing the HTML file and re-uploading it to the S3 bucket. Demonstrated how changes can be seamlessly applied.

Conclusion: The static website is now accessible on the internet. Because it is hosted on Amazon S3, the website has high availability and can serve high volumes of traffic without using any servers.

You can also use your own domain name to direct users to a static website that is hosted on Amazon S3. To accomplish this, you could use the Amazon Route 53 Domain Name System (DNS) service in combination with Amazon S3.
