Deploy Static Website on AWS

Published: 2026

This project demonstrates the deployment of a fully static website using AWS cloud services. The architecture leverages S3 for storage, CloudFront for global content delivery, Route 53 for DNS management, and ACM for SSL/TLS encryption.

The goal of this setup was to achieve a secure, scalable, and highly available static website with low latency access from anywhere in the world.

Implementation Details

The website files (HTML, CSS, JS) were hosted in an S3 bucket configured for static website hosting. CloudFront was used as a CDN to cache content at edge locations for faster delivery.

Route 53 was configured to map a custom domain to the CloudFront distribution. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) was used to enable HTTPS for secure communication.
