Hosting Static Webpages on AWS

Hosting using edge locations

Project Summary

Hosting static webpages on AWS with CloudFront involves storing your website files (HTML, CSS, JS, images) in an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting, and then distributing them through Amazon CloudFront. CloudFront acts as a global CDN, caching your files at edge locations worldwide to deliver faster load times and reduced latency. You connect CloudFront to your S3 bucket as the origin, optionally add a custom domain with Route 53, and secure it with HTTPS using AWS Certificate Manager. This setup provides high performance, scalability, reliability, and low-cost hosting for static sites.

Project Objective

To deploy and deliver a scalable, secure, and high-performance static website by hosting content in Amazon S3 and distributing it globally through Amazon CloudFront. This project aims to ensure fast load times, high availability, reduced latency, and cost-efficient delivery of static assets while supporting a custom domain and HTTPS security.
