Goal: This project aims to help you practice deploying a static web application using infrastructure as code and cloud-based hosting. You’ll gain experience with AWS S3 for hosting, use Terraform to automate deployment, and configure CloudFront as a CDN to improve performance and availability.
Requirements
Static Web Application: Deploy a simple, pre-built React app to AWS S3 for static hosting. This will act as the frontend of the application.
Automation with Terraform:
Use Terraform to provision and configure AWS resources, including the S3 bucket and permissions needed for hosting the static app.
Automate the deployment process, allowing for quick setup and teardown.
Content Delivery Network (CDN):
Set up AWS CloudFront as a CDN to distribute the React app globally.
Configure CloudFront to cache content for fast load times, improve resilience, and reduce latency for users.
Additional Configuration:
Implement basic security measures by configuring bucket policies and ensuring that the S3 bucket is only accessible through CloudFront.
Optimize caching and invalidation settings for efficient updates to the deployed app.
Objectives: By completing this project, you’ll build foundational skills in deploying static sites on AWS and automating infrastructure setup using Terraform. This experience will help prepare you for deploying more complex cloud-based applications and managing infrastructure as code in production environments.
