Description

This comprehensive course is designed for beginners who want to master AWS S3 and static web hosting from the ground up. Whether you're new to cloud computing or looking to deepen your understanding of AWS, this course will provide you with the essential knowledge and hands-on experience you need to confidently work with S3, CloudFront, and Route 53.

You’ll start with the basics, learning how to create and manage S3 buckets and objects, upload and download files, and explore the importance of versioning for maintaining object histories. From there, we dive into securing your S3 buckets with IAM roles, bucket policies, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to ensure that your data remains safe and accessible only to authorized users.

As you progress, you’ll learn how to configure S3 for hosting static websites, enabling you to serve HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly from S3. The course covers essential setup steps like adding index and error documents and configuring the S3 bucket for website hosting.

The course also introduces advanced topics like using CloudFront for content delivery. You’ll learn how to speed up your website’s load time globally by caching static content and distributing it through CloudFront’s global network of edge locations. Additionally, you’ll gain practical knowledge on managing custom domains with Route 53 and configuring DNS records to point to your S3-hosted site.

Finally, you'll apply your new skills in a project where you’ll deploy a React web application on S3, set up CloudFront distributions, and configure Route 53 for custom domain hosting. By the end of the course, you’ll have a complete understanding of how to leverage AWS to deploy and manage static websites and web applications.
