Cloud Lab Overview

Amazon S3 and CloudFront together offer a powerful and scalable solution for hosting static websites. S3 provides durable object storage for your HTML, CSS, and image files, while CloudFront ensures global low-latency delivery through its content distribution network (CDN).

In this Challenge Cloud Lab, you will be tested on your ability to host a static website using Amazon S3 as the origin and Amazon CloudFront as the content delivery network. Without guided steps, you’ll set up bucket permissions, configure CloudFront with origin access control, define a default root object, and verify secure and styled delivery.
