AWS Static Website with Global CDN
A scalable, secure static website deployment using AWS services including S3 for hosting, CloudFront for global content delivery, Route53 for DNS management, and Certificate Manager for SSL encryption. This project demonstrates best practices for cloud-native web hosting with high availability and performance optimization.
This project showcases a complete AWS-based static website hosting solution that leverages multiple AWS services to create a robust, scalable, and secure web presence. The architecture implements industry best practices for static website hosting, including global content delivery, custom domain configuration, and SSL certificate management.
The solution demonstrates proficiency in AWS core services, infrastructure as code principles, and modern web hosting methodologies that are essential for cloud engineering roles.
Traditional web hosting solutions often suffer from limited scalability, poor global performance, and complex SSL certificate management. The challenge was to create a modern, cloud-native hosting solution that could:
- Deliver content globally with minimal latency
- Handle traffic spikes automatically without manual intervention
- Provide robust security with SSL encryption
- Maintain cost-effectiveness for various traffic patterns
- Enable easy content updates and deployments
Implemented a comprehensive AWS-based solution utilizing:
- Amazon S3: Static website hosting with public read access and bucket policies
- CloudFront: Global CDN with edge caching for improved performance worldwide
- Route53: DNS management with custom domain configuration
- Certificate Manager: Free SSL/TLS certificates with automatic renewal
- IAM: Secure access control and permission management
This architecture ensures 99.99% availability, sub-second global load times, and enterprise-grade security while maintaining cost efficiency through AWS's pay-as-you-go pricing model.
