Securing Static Website In a previous blog, I wrote about setting up this website. It is a simple static site with a basic architecture as shown below: The teachmyselfcloud domain is registered with Route 53. This automatically creates a hosted zone, with a NS record and a start of authority SOA record. I created an alias A record that points to the CloudFront distribution, that sits in front of the S3 bucket that holds the individual objects.

I previously set up this blog with the awesome Hugo open source static-site generator. Last time I used GitLab Pages. I also recently setup a static site using GitHub and Netlify. However, I want to have another go at resurrecting this site, and use it to keep study notes for exams and personal projects. This time, I’ve decided to go all in on AWS. Set up CodeCommit First I created a new repository on CodeCommit.
