Getting a site up and running on AWS via S3 is fairly quick and easy.

Here is what I did.

First Setup an account and configure the AWS CLI tools.

• create aws account
• create IAM user
• grant permissions to user
• copy credentials locally
• Install PIP sudo apt install python-pip
• use PIP to install the AWS tools pip install awscli --upgrade --user
• aws configure use credentials from above
• Read the docs at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/index.html

Then setup the S3 side

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/HostingWebsiteOnS3Setup.html

Create an S3 bucket, configure as a website and make it world readable

Oddly here Amazon tell you to make it world readable - and warn you that you shoudln’t. Ignore the warning.

Finally publish to S3

aws s3 cp ./public/ s3://seanburlington --recursive

Now visit the site
