Welcome to the AWS Handbook for SAA-C03 certification, an open-source guide to aid you in preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam. This handbook provides detailed information on AWS services. While some content is generated using GitHub Copilot, everything has been thoroughly reviewed. I no longer host the website, but you can clone the repository and run it locally.

This section provides insights into essential AWS services for hosting solutions focused on frontend client-side rendering. Detailed service descriptions and architectural diagrams are included. Note: AWS Route 53, VPC, and IAM are not covered in depth here as they indirectly relate to hosting but are essential for domain management, network creation, and user permissions management.
AWS Amplify offers a complete backend and frontend cloud development platform that is ideal for building scalable, secure web applications that perform client-side rendering. It integrates CloudFront to globally distribute content, enhancing performance and securing applications against DDoS attacks.
Host a static website using Amazon S3 along with CloudFront, supporting technologies such as GitHub, AWS CodeStar, and AWS CodePipeline. This setup is particularly effective for websites that utilize client-side rendering.
Deploy a React.js application that performs client-side rendering on EC2. This approach is supported by AWS services including AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodeDeploy.
For application hosting you can also choose to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS OpsWorks, or AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS). For more information, see AWS Application Hosting.
$ yarn
$ yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
$ yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Using SSH:
$ USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
$ GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
