S3 Static Website

Overview

This project deploys a production-ready static website on AWS S3 using Terraform with fully automated infrastructure provisioning. The setup includes static hosting, public access configuration, encryption, object versioning, and automated file uploads without requiring manual AWS console configuration.

The goal is to create a fast, reproducible, and infrastructure-as-code based static hosting workflow using AWS and Terraform.

Infrastructure Components

S3 Bucket

• Unique bucket name generation

• Public website hosting

• Static asset delivery

Security

• Public read-only access

• AES-256 encryption enabled

• Version-controlled objects

Hosting

• index.html homepage

• Custom error handling

• Website endpoint generation

Update Website Content

terraform apply

Terraform automatically detects file changes and uploads updated content.

Required IAM Permissions

• s3:CreateBucket

• s3:PutBucketPolicy

• s3:PutBucketWebsite

• s3:PutBucketVersioning

Destroy Infrastructure

terraform destroy

Result

• Production-ready static website hosting

• Fully automated infrastructure provisioning

• Secure S3 bucket configuration

• Infrastructure managed entirely through code

• Fast deployment workflow

Key DevOps Concepts

• Infrastructure as Code

• AWS automation

• Static website deployment

• Terraform workflows

• Cloud storage provisioning

• Infrastructure reproducibility

Final Note

This project demonstrates how static websites can be deployed on AWS S3 using Terraform with a fully automated Infrastructure as Code workflow.

Instead of manually configuring cloud resources through the AWS console, the entire hosting infrastructure is provisioned through code, making deployments faster, repeatable, and production-ready.
