Bulletproof HTML5 Static Websites with AWS in a Nutshell

Course details

So you've invented the next big thing and now it is time to tell the World. You've developed the coolest HTML5 website but you are concerned about the risks of hosting your site:

• What if my site is too popular and it crashes?
• What if my infrastructure is too big and I waste my money?
• What if my site is attacked by hackers?
• What if my site goes down?

I am going to show you, in a nutshell, how to build bulletproof and elastic infrastructure on Amazon Web Services, the World's largest cloud. You don't need any networking knowledge and you will build a solution capable of withstanding high traffic demands and malicious attacks, but at the same running on the AWS Free Tier.

• Use Amazon S3 on the AWS Free Tier to host your website with durability of 99.999999999% for free.
• Use AWS CloudFront CDN to cache your site at over 50 edge locations across the Globe to provide super low latency and resilience to DDOS attacks.
• Purchase a custom domain name and direct traffic using AWS Route 53.
• Use the AWS Certificate Manager to create an SSL certificate and enable HTTPS encryption.

Static website generators are growing rapidly in popularity in the enterprise market due to increased security and reliability. The infrastructure developed will be perfect for use with the new trends of HTML5 static website generators.
