AWS Project: How to Create a Static Website for Free Using Amazon S3, Step by Step

Video Description

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) can be used as inexpensive object storage (think: files, images, videos, logs, etc.). But did you know it can also be used to host a static website? Static meaning no server-side code, but it's perfect for simple HTML, images and even some client-side scripts. In a hands-on tutorial, I'll show you how to create a bucket, enable it for static website hosting, update permissions, and then upload a simple html file and image. Then voila-our website is working!
