CLOUDAMBLE.com

CLOUDAMBLE.com happened after seeing post about AWS IQ - "From AWS: AWS IQ enables customers to quickly find, engage, and pay AWS Certified third-party experts for on-demand project work"

Brief exploration on expert sign-up process, led to conclusion that we needed a personal site! ofcourse free-tier gives you S3 hosting but visiting site like cloudamble.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com wouldn't look too professional, we are trying to build a brand :)

In this post, I will show how we used Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host CLOUDAMBLE.com on Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), let's get started:
S3 Bucket Setup
Go to AWS console and navigate to S3 under Storage
Click "Create" bucket and enter [cloudamble.com] for "Bucket name", note this has to be unique globally and should match your custom domain name
Click "Properties" section, click the "Static Website Hosting"
Select "Use this bucket to host a website", enter "index.html" or your home page
S3 by default applies principle of least privilege access i.e. all public access is turned-off, you will need to explicitly enable the read access
Click on [cloudamble.com] bucket, click "Edit block public access settings" button, and then un-check "Block all public access" option
Click on [cloudamble.com] bucket, click "Bucket Policy button" and add the following JSON

"Version": "2012-10-17",
												"Id": "Policy1573750674956",
												"Statement": [
													{
														"Sid": "Stmt1573750663261",
														"Effect": "Allow",
														"Principal": "*",
														"Action": "s3:GetObject",
														"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::[BUCKET-NAME]/*"
													}
												]
