+## Intent
+
+Deploy static content to a cloud-based storage service that can deliver them directly to the client. 
+This can reduce the need for potentially expensive compute instances.
+
+## Explanation
+
+Real world example
+
+> A global marketing web site with static content needs to be quickly deployed to start attracting
+> potential customers. To keep the hosting expenses and maintenance minimum, a cloud hosted storage 
+> service along with content delivery network is used.
+
+In plain words
+
+> Static Content Hosting pattern utilizes cloud native storage service to store the content and
+> global content delivery network to cache it in multiple data centers around the world.
+
+Wikipedia says
+
+> A static web page (sometimes called a flat page or a stationary page) is a web page that is 
+> delivered to the user's web browser exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are 
+> generated by a web application.
+> 
+> Static web pages are suitable for content that never or rarely needs to be updated, though modern 
+> web template systems are changing this. Maintaining large numbers of static pages as files can be 
+> impractical without automated tools, such as static site generators.
+
+**Programmatic Example**
