**Programmatic Example**
**Example**
In this example we create a static web site using AWS S3 and utilize AWS Cloudfront to distribute
the content globally.
1. First you will need an AWS account. You can create a free one here: [AWS Free Tier](https://aws.amazon.com/free/free-tier/)
2. Login to the [AWS Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?nc2=h_ct&src=header-signin)
3. Go to Identity and Access Management (IAM) service.
4. Create IAM user that has only the necessary rights for this application.
* Click `Users`
* Click `Add user`. Choose `User name` as you wish and `Access type` should be `Programmatic access`. Click `Next: Permissions`.
* Choose `Attach existing policies directly`. Select `AmazonS3FullAccess` and `CloudFrontFullAccess`. Click `Next: Tags`.
* No tags are necessarily needed, so just click `Next: Review`.
* Review the presented information and if all seems good click `Create user`.
* You are presented with `Access key ID` and `Secret access key` which you will need to complete this example, so store them safely.
* Click `Close`.
5. [Install AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv1.html) to gain programmic access to AWS cloud.
6. Configure AWS CLI with command `aws configure` as desribed in the [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-quickstart.html#cli-configure-quickstart-config)
7. Create AWS S3 bucket for the web site content. Note that the S3 bucket names must be globally unique.
* The syntax is `aws s3 mb <bucket name>` as described in the [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-services-s3-commands.html#using-s3-commands-managing-buckets-creating)
* For example `aws s3 mb s3://my-static-website-jh34jsjmg`
* Verify that the bucket was successfully created with command `aws s3 ls` which list the existing buckets
8. Configure the bucket as a web site with command `aws s3 website` as described in the [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/website.html).
* E.g. `aws s3 website s3://my-static-website-jh34jsjmg --index-document index.html --error-document error.html`
9. Upload content to the bucket.
* First create the content, at least `index.html` and `error.html` documents.
index.html
```
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>My Static Web Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>I'm the index.html</h1>
</body>
```
error.html
```
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>My Static Web Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>I'm the index.html</h1>
</body>
```
* Upload the content to your bucket as described [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-services-s3-commands.html#using-s3-commands-managing-objects-copy)
* E.g. `aws s3 cp index.html s3://my-static-website-jh34jsjmg` and `aws s3 cp error.html s3://my-static-website-jh34jsjmg`
10. Next we need to set the bucket policy to allow read access.
* Create `policy.json` with the following contents (note that you need to replace the bucket name with your own).
```
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-static-website-jh34jsjmg/*"
}
]
}
```
* Set the bucket policy according to these [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/put-bucket-policy.html)
* E.g. `aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket my-static-website-jh34jsjmg --policy file://policy.json`
11. Test the web site in your browser.
* The web site URL format is `http://<bucket-name>.s3-website-<region-name>.amazonaws.com`
* E.g. this web site was created in `eu-west-1` region with name `my-static-website-jh34jsjmg` so it can be accessed via url `http://my-static-website-jh34jsjmg.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com`
