Learn to host Static Websites on Amazon S3

Building secure static websites on public cloud platforms like AWS can be the solution to many problems: they can cost next to nothing, will pretty much never be unavailable, and can provide a surprisingly wide range of features. The only real downside is that there's a bit of a learning curve you'll have to climb to get it done.

In this self-paced course, you'll learn how to build your own secure and highly-available static website on the Amazon S3 platform. The video demos will show you exactly how every step in the process works and the test-yourself quizzes will ensure you've understood and absorbed everything. Naturally, you're strongly encouraged to dive in to design and deploy a static site for yourself.

You'll also learn how to:

• Use the popular Hugo static website generator to turn your HTML and other resources into a professional site

• Generate a free website encryption certificate using AWS Certificate Manager

• Deploy a global CDN distribution for your site using Amazon CloudFront

• Automate the deployment of content updates

Whether you're responsible for sites supporting enterprise-level content stores, or you're just looking for a way to quickly throw together a simple Hello World project, an S3-based static website might be a perfect match.

Who this course is for:

• Individuals looking to build a secure, robust, inexpensive, and (relatively) easy-to-manage website to be hosted on the Amazon S3 storage platform within their own AWS accounts
