Source Code for Project 3

Project 3 Phase 1

Static website on AWS S3 with Static Hosting + CloudFront

Overview

This project will give you hands on experience building an AWS S3 static hosting site. Unlike a website hosted on a TAMU server, like people.tamu.edu, the goal of being on the cloud prevents downtime from happening if your organization loses connectivity or goes under.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) aims to provide scalability, high availability, and low latency with

99.999999999% durability and between 99.95% to 99.99% availability.

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. You can use Route 53 to perform three main functions in any combination: domain registration, DNS routing, and health checking.

Amazon CloudFront is a fast content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to customers globally with low latency, high transfer speeds, all within a developer-friendly environment.

Project Objectives:

You will be able to:

• Show your understanding of Simple Storage Service (S3) and how to set up data to be retrieved from anywhere.
• Show your understanding of how to create and name a domain.
• Show your understanding of how to create a security certificate (SSL).
• Deploy a website on the cloud.

Instructions:

More details will be provided as we gain access to the accounts and privileges.

1. This is an individual project, you must turn in your own work.
2. Collaboration for ideas is acceptable, duplication of work is not.
3. Use the account information given with this project.
4. Use Namecheap.com and create a domain name of CS412(first initial)(LastName).xyz For example mine would be CS412rlightfoot.xyz
5. Deploy a simple "Hello World" on AWS in an S3 container.
6. Migrate your person webpage (The one from CSCE 315 will do) to the container, considering your domain name. (The content of the website is not going to be graded, but the ability to connect to multiple pages and external links will be evaluated.)
7. Create a HTTPS site with SSL certificate.
8. Document the process to create this website.
9. Demo the website in class.

Deliverables:

All deliverables must be at least a minimum viable solution to the problem assigned. No attempt at grading will be made for non substantial submissions.

All deliverables should have branding (create a logo or heading) and should look professional, ready to give to a customer. Internal documentation should have branding as well.

1. Provide the steps taken from beginning to end to create an S3 website on AWS.
2. Provide the link to your website.
3. Demonstration connectivity.

Grading:

This project is worth 100 points.

Documentation 30%
Successful deployment of appropriate web page as described above 50%
Demonstration 20%

Project 3 Phase 2

Secure website setup CI/CD and code repositories

Overview

At the core of modern software development is continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery(CD), helping businesses to ship new, working features earlier and more often.
This project will expand the secure website from phase 1 with a code repository. Then, by simply pushing your code to GitHub, your website will automatically be updated.

Project Objectives:

You will be able to:

• Show the benefits of CI/CD and the use of code repositories.
• Deploy a secure website on the cloud which can beupdated through GitHub.

Instructions:

1. This is an individual project, you must turn in your own work.
2. Collaboration for ideas is acceptable, duplication of work is not.
3. Use the account information given with this project.
4. Document the process to update this website.
5. Demo the update process in class.

Deliverables:

All deliverables must be at least a minimum viable solution to the problem assigned.
No attempt at grading will be made for non substantial submissions.
Create a document that starts with your secure website.
Document the steps necessary to create the repository and connect it through an AWS CodePipeline.
Then document the way you would update the website.

1. Provide the steps taken from beginning to end to create a dynamically updateable AWS website using GitHub.
2. Provide the link to your website.
3. Demonstration pushing a change.

Grading:

This phase is worth 100 points.

Documentation 10%
Use of Git 20%
Successful deployment of appropriate web page as described above 50%
