Static Website Hosting on AWS S3 Bucket

A brief description of what this project does and who it's for

Overview

This repository demonstrates how to host a static website on AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) and enable static web hosting. The provided code and configuration files make it easy to deploy a static website quickly and efficiently.

Features

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

An AWS account with appropriate permissions to create and manage S3 buckets.
AWS CLI installed and configured with the necessary credentials.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and deploy your static website:

1.Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/NirmalNaveen20/s3-static-website.git

2.Customize your website content:

Replace the contents of the index.html, style.css, and any other necessary files in the public directory with your own website content.

3.Create an S3 bucket:

aws s3api create-bucket --bucket your-unique-bucket-name --region your-preferred-region

Make sure to replace your-unique-bucket-name with a globally unique name for your bucket and your-preferred-region with the AWS region where you want to create the bucket.

4.Upload your website files to the S3 bucket:

aws s3 sync public/ s3://your-unique-bucket-name

5.Enable static website hosting on the S3 bucket:

aws s3 website s3://your-unique-bucket-name/ --index-document index.html

Update the index.html with the actual name of your main HTML file if it's different.

6.Access your static website:

After a few minutes, your website should be accessible at the following endpoint:

http://your-unique-bucket-name.s3-website-your-preferred-region.amazonaws.com

Replace your-unique-bucket-name and your-preferred-region with the appropriate values.

Cleanup

To delete the S3 bucket and associated resources:

aws s3 rb s3://your-unique-bucket-name --force

Note: Deleting a bucket will permanently remove all objects stored in the bucket.
