AWS CloudFront Static Website with Terraform (Modular)

This repository now uses a reusable Terraform module for deploying a static website to AWS CloudFront. You can deploy separate environments (development and production) using the same module.

Structure

• modules/static-site/: The reusable module containing all resources.
• development/: Environment-specific configuration for development.
• production/: Environment-specific configuration for production.

Prerequisites

• Terraform >= 1.10
• AWS credentials with permissions for S3, CloudFront, ACM, and Route53
• A registered domain in Route53

Usage

1. Configure variables
   • Edit development/variables.tf and production/variables.tf as needed.
   • Provide values for s3_bucket_name, domain_name, and subject_alternative_name in a .tfvars file (e.g., development.tfvars).
2. Initialize Terraform

   cd development # or production
   terraform init

3. Plan and apply

   terraform plan
   terraform apply

4. Upload your static site files

   aws s3 cp ./public/ s3://<your-bucket-name>/ --recursive

Repeat the above steps in the production directory for production deployment.

Clean URLs

S3 rewrites URLs so /about and /about/ both serve /about/index.html. There is a cost associated with this CloudFront functions: $0.10 per 1 million invocations.
