Project Title:

Deploying and Securing a Static Portfolio Website Using Amazon S3, CloudFront, Route 53, and SSL Certificate Integration

Project Overview

This project demonstrates how I designed, customized, and deployed my portfolio website using AWS services for scalability, security, and high availability.

Starting from editing a template in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to registering a custom domain, configuring AWS S3 for static website hosting, and finally optimizing content delivery via CloudFront with SSL encryption, this workflow follows cloud deployment best practices suitable for professional-grade websites.

Additionally, this project will be enhanced in future updates to include automated Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) using GitHub Actions for fully automated code pushes to AWS.

Aims and Objectives

• Host a static website on AWS for my portfolio.
• Secure the website with HTTPS using AWS Certificate Manager.
• Integrate a custom domain purchased from GoDaddy with AWS Route 53.
• Improve performance with CloudFront (Content Delivery Network).
• Demonstrate end-to-end cloud deployment from local editing to live production.

Future-proof the workflow

by planning CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions

Tools and Services Used

• VS Code (Website editing & Live Server preview)
• GoDaddy (Domain purchase)
• AWS S3 (Static website hosting)
