Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) #
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.
S3 allows us to store data intended for many varied use cases while also offering things like lifecycle management or security and access management. I am going to be using S3 to store a few measly static website files containing my resume, some style information, and a script.
After logging into the AWS Management Console I navigated to Amazon S3 and simply selected ‘Create Bucket.’ While creating the bucket I followed along with these guidelines to enable website hosting and create an endpoint to access my static files at. With that, I effectively had a completed static website, where browsers manned by end users can request files and render content.
That being said, right now this static site isn’t quite so secure, what can I do about that?
