A CMS software like WordPress is awesome because it lets you get statistics in real-time, like page visits, link hits, and many more; in my case, I was unsure what I need to do with a static website and add analytics to it. So I decided to look for ideas quickly. I use Google Analytics in other business websites that I have set up, but those run on Squarespace or WordPress, in this case, my website is hosted in S3, so I was curious
I have noticed this company called Link Tree, where users log in and create a quick Links page with their picture on it and with all their links in one place. These links take them to multiple places, like their Social Media accounts, resumes. Blogs, products they sell, and so on. While I was looking at it, I thought, I can create something like that from scratch. My HTML/CSS Skills are very outdated, so I decided to give it a shot.
As we continue moving forward with our project, we will move to the creation of the certificate using AWS Certificate Manager Requesting Certificate from AWS Certificate Manager I created a quick video to illustrate the process, so it’s easy to follow if you are trying something similar What to look forward to? The next and final piece of the puzzle is to make sure we enable a Content Distribution using CloudFront
Finally we made it to the last step of the project, this will be dedicated to the CloudFront piece Create a Cloud Front Distribution This quick video will show you how to configure the CDN piece with CloudFront. What to look forward to? Perfect, we made it to the end; now we want to make sure our Bucket is only accessible from our CDN, not from the external world. The next post will be the configuration we need to make this happen.
Applying security is important, even when I lab stuff I try to make it as secure as possible, my projects may take a bit more time to complete, but this step will allow me to sleep at night. Applying Security I wanted to make sure that while my bucket in S3 is configured with Public Access, that now that we have Cloud Front up and running, we lock it so that only Cloud Front can access it. Here is a quick video on how to it
Before leaving my previous company there was an interesting trend in the market and industry I have worked for the past few years, and that is that multiple verticals out there are considering moving their traditional premises workloads to the cloud. That is a beautiful thing, but from my standpoint as an Engineer/Architect, I’m thinking how I’m going to be able to get involved into it? - Smart conversations need to happen and well, I’m usually part of those conversations, or in the room when smart people talks about cloud :)
