Todo and technologies
1. Use AWS s3 (cloud storage service)
2. Upload your files to AWS s3
3. Launch a sample webapp
1. Creating an s3 bucket through the AWS consoleYou need to have a an AWS account, you can get a freetire account which basically means you get a free 1 year to use some AWS resources. In our case, we have that setup and we will be using the s3 service.
- Go to the s3 service
- click on "create bucket" : a bucket is where we will put our files.
- click on "objects" : obejects are files that can go into the bucket.
2. Setup Website hosting for S3Webhosting is what allows o a webfile to be served to the internet. AWS offers a free option to host a static website (static is something that doesnt use data from a database).
- Go to your s3 bucket
- Go to the properties tab
- Scroll down to Static Web Hosting and enable this.
3. Launch your website on s3We have a bucket and its now hosting ready, all we need to do is add our files and we can access the site.
- Go to your s3 bucket and upload "objects". these are your webfiles from your computer
- Go to the s3 bucket properties tab
- Scroll down to Static Web Hosting and you should now see a url. *click on the url and access your site.
