Hello
My name is Biswanath Sah, and in this blog you are going to see the step by step process to deploy a static website on AWS S3.

Amazon S3

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a highly scalable, durable, and secure cloud storage solution offered by AWS(Amazon Web Services). It was introduced in March 2006 and has since become one of the most widely used object storing services in world wide.

With flexible storage classes, robust security features, and pay-as-you-go pricing, S3 is ideal for various use cases such as data backup, static website hosting, and content distribution.

Getting Started:

S1: Create S3 bucket, named as "website-host-bucket". Uncheck Block all public access(this will allow pubic read access) and then Create.

S2: Upload all the files. (The files related to simple website)

S3: To enable the Static Website Hosting, go to Properties of bucket.

Move down and see the Static Website Hosting is Disabled. Click Edit and Enable it.

Give the index page name(main page) and error page name(to show whenever there is misspelled in url, its Optional) and click Save Changes.

Now copy the URL of Bucket website and paste in new tab. You will get the "403 Forbidden", you get this because your website's objects within the bucket is not not getting access.

S4: To solve this error, we have to create S3 Bucket policy for the above created bucket to allow the end users to access it. Go to Permissions of Bucket ("website-host-bucket") and edit the Bucket policy. Copy the Bucket ARN(Amazon Resource Name) and click on policy generator (right top corner).

On the Policy generator page:
Select Type : "S3 Bucket Policy"
Principal : **
Actions : Getobject
ARN : "arn:aws:s3:::website-host-bucket"
Click Add Statement.
Click Generate Policy.*
You will get the code like:

Copy and paste it and add "/\" in line of "Resources: ...."* on the policy edit page as shown.

S5: Now refresh the page on which you got the 403 forbidden error.

Try:http://....amazonaws.com/[unuploaded file]
e.g. : here i am going to see what is there in the dev.html page which is not uploaded in bucket.

Surprise , I am not getting any error even if the page the is not present. This is the error.html page that i was created to show whenever there is misspelled in the page name you want to go. This is because of the giving the error page name in Step 3.

Hence marks this completion, hope you find this step by step procedure for simple project insightful and have given a try it to.
