Automated Deployment of a Static Website to AWS S3 using GitHub Actions

This project automates the deployment of a static website to AWS S3 using GitHub Actions. Whenever changes are pushed to the GitHub repository, a workflow is triggered to build and deploy the website's HTML files to an S3 bucket, making the website accessible publicly with minimal manual intervention.

Technologies Used: GitHub, GitHub Action, AWS S3

Links: GitHub

Objective:

• GitHub as SCM with Webhook Integration for Static Website: Utilized GitHub as the source code management (SCM) system and configured GitHub webhooks to trigger an automated deployment pipeline for static website content.

• Automated Build and Deployment via GitHub Actions: Set up GitHub Actions to automatically trigger on code push events, build the static website, and deploy the HTML files to an AWS S3 bucket for hosting.

• AWS S3 Deployment Automation: Automated the process of copying the static website files (index.html, error.html) to an S3 bucket upon every push to GitHub, ensuring the website is always up-to-date.

• Continuous Deployment to AWS: Enabled continuous deployment by using GitHub Actions to deploy the latest version of the static website to S3, making it publicly accessible without manual intervention.

• Seamless Deployment of Static Content: Ensured that changes to the static website files in the GitHub repository are immediately reflected on the live website hosted on AWS S3, enabling real-time updates with every code change.
