In this hands-on lab, you’ll take a simple static site (like your resume or portfolio) and make it live on the internet using Amazon S3. By the end, you’ll have a shareable website URL and a clearer understanding of how cloud storage, permissions, and hosting fit together.
- Create Your S3 Bucket — set up a new bucket that will store your site.
- Upload Your Files — add your HTML, CSS, and any assets.
- Set Your Bucket Policy — adjust permissions so your site is publicly accessible.
- Enable Static Website Hosting — tell S3 to serve your files as a live site.
- Share Your Website — copy the endpoint link and show it off.
- Clean Up — remove resources when you’re finished to avoid extra charges.
- How to use Amazon S3 as a lightweight hosting option for static websites.
- How to configure permissions and policies so the public can access your content securely.
- Why it’s good practice to clean up your resources when you’re done with a lab or project.
