S3 Static Website Hosting & CloudFront

• You can use S3 to host a static website.

• On a static website, individual webpages include static content. They might also contain client-side scripts.

  • By contrast, a dynamic website relies on server-side processing, including server-side scripts such as PHP, JSP, or ASP.NET.

• S3 does not support server-side scripting.

• You can use the web hosting feature of S3 and also improve the architecture further by integrating it with CloudFront.

  • This way, users will be able to load both the web pages and images faster than if we are serving them from a standard webserver.
