4.3 Static S3 Site Demonstration

00:01

In this video

00:03

we will create a static s3 website

00:06

and

00:07

we will create a bucket policy for our website.

00:14

In our last video,

00:15

we enabled version ing on our bucket

00:18

and we walked through a version ing example

00:22

In this lesson, we will create a static s3 website

00:26

and we will walk through adding a bucket policy.

00:31

We can hold static web sites on Amazon s three

00:35

my static

00:37

we mean simply individual web pages that contain Onley static content.

00:43

That means that our site

00:44

will not be able to run any server side scripts as dynamic pages would

00:49

using PHP,

00:51

Jsp or SP

00:55

to host the static Web site.

00:58

We will configure our s three bucket

01:00

for website hosting and then upload are content to our bucket.

01:06

Then we will add a bucket policy to grant the world read access to our bucket.

01:12

Our website will then be available

01:15

at the AWS Region specific website en pointe

01:19

for our bucket.

01:23

These concepts are best learned by a demonstration So

01:26

let's create our site.

01:30

So from the AWS council, we type s three and then enter

01:37

Next

01:38

we will create a new bucket.

01:42

We will give the bucket the name.

01:45

First Dash Library

01:47

bash, Static

01:49

Bash s three dash site.

01:52

Then we click Create bucket.

01:55

So

01:57

now we see that our new bucket has been created.

02:00

So let's click it

02:02

then let's select properties

02:07

Next

02:07

click Static website hosting.

02:12

We will select

02:14

Use this bucket to host a static Web site.

02:21

Next, we will create a landing page for our site.

02:24

We will type

02:25

index dot html

02:30

Then we will create an error dot ht ml page that will display an error message.

02:36

If a website visitor request a page that doesn't exist,

02:40

then we click Save.

02:45

Now we could see that static website hosting is enabled on our bucket.

02:51

And here is our in point,

02:53

which is derived from our bucket name

02:57

and the region of Rs three bucket.

03:00

So now let's exit to the S three page

03:06

noticed that our bucket is not yet public.

03:08

Remember that all buckets are private by default.

03:14

So

03:15

let's edit our public access settings.

03:19

Just as in the previous lesson, we click, save and type confirm

03:23

then confirm

03:25

Now notice that our objects can be public.

03:30

Next, we will need to add a bucket policy to grant re permission to our site.

03:37

Let's select permissions,

03:39

then bucket policy.

03:43

This takes us to the Bucket Policy editor screen.

03:46

Our bucket policy will be a Jason document.

03:51

I have one that I already created.

03:53

I will paste it in and then explain what it's doing.

03:58

Line two

04:00

is the version of Jason that we're running

04:03

lines four through eight are essentially the policy that says that anyone is allowed, get

04:11

or read permission to the objects within our bucket.

04:15

So let's click. Save

04:18

A W s informs us

04:20

that our bucket now has public access.

04:25

Let's exit back to the S three page

04:30

notice now that our bucket is featuring the public icon.

04:35

Let's click on our bucket again

04:39

and upload our content.

04:51

I have already created documents off line called Index that HTML

04:58

and error that HTML

05:01

These are just simple HTML files that will serve as our demonstration index and our pages

05:10

again. We will need to make both of these files public

05:14

or else we will receive that access denied XML air.

05:25

Great.

05:27

So now both of our files are public.

05:30

Let's exit to our bucket to ensure that everything looks as we expect.

05:34

All appears to be in order

05:38

So now let's test our site to see if it works.

05:43

Click on the end point

05:45

and nice.

05:46

There is Rs three landing page.

05:53

Now

05:54

let's test to see if our air pages working as expected.

05:59

I will request a file

06:00

that doesn't exist within our bucket.

06:15

Awesome!

06:16

Our air pages being served up properly.

06:25

Learning chick,

06:27

What steps are involved? To create a static As three website,

06:31

we sign into the

06:32

A. W s management console.

06:35

Then we create a bucket.

06:39

We opened the bucket properties paying.

06:43

Then we choose static website hosting.

06:46

Then we choose

06:47

Use this bucket to host a website

06:53

in the index document box

06:56

we typed the name of our index document.

06:59

The name is usually index dot html.

07:03

Then we create an error dot html file to catch potential errors and serving up our website.

07:12

We choose safe to save the website configuration

07:16

and then we copy the in point to a text file.

07:28

In this video,

07:29

we created a static s3 website

07:32

and

07:33

we created a bucket policy
