Semi-automated setup of webapp hosting in aws (route 53 -> cloudfront -> s3)

Scripts and notes for hosting another webapp

Here's a post from someone trying to accomplish pretty much the same thing as me here: Five minute website hosting with Amazon S3 and CloudFront.

Stack

Route 53 -> Cloudfront -> S3

Prerequisites

• AWS CLI installed and configured with access credentials and region.
• IAM user with e.g. AmazonS3FullAccess and CloudFrontFullAccess policies
• Domain name registered and directed to Route 53 hosted zone.

Instructions

1. Create the s3 bucket using the scripts in s3.
2. Create the cloudfront distribution using the scripts in cloudfront.
3. Setup the route 53 routing manually using the instructions under route53.
