Host a static website on S3 using AWS CDK

If you’ve built a website, whether for personal or commercial use, you probably researched web hosting options. Lots of companies provide this kind of services. In this post, we will build a very simple website, and host it on Amazon S3 (Amazon storage service), which can be used to host a static website (a site that contains static content and client-side scripts).

The interesting part is that we will use AWS CDK to define the infrastructure we’re using. I’ve learned about this a couple of weeks ago, and thought to document my learnings through a blog post.
