Fast Static Website Deployment with Pulumi ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿš€ Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge Submission

This project is part of the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge, showcasing a fast and automated static website deployment on AWS S3 using Pulumi.

๐ŸŒ What I Built

I created a fully automated static website hosted on AWS S3 using Pulumiโ€™s Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) approach. The website serves a simple "Hello, World!" page with static assets, making it easy to deploy, manage, and scale.

๐Ÿš€ My Journey

Throughout this project, I gained hands-on experience in:

โœ… Setting up & configuring an S3 bucket for static hosting

โœ… Defining infrastructure using Pulumi YAML

โœ… Debugging common Pulumi YAML syntax issues

โœ… Managing AWS S3 website endpoints & permissions

One major challenge was configuring the website properly. Initially, I mistakenly used website instead of websiteConfig, which caused deployment errors. Debugging Pulumiโ€™s error messages helped me understand AWS resources better and improved my troubleshooting skills.

โš™๏ธ Pulumi Features Used

๐Ÿ”น S3 Bucket Configuration โ€“ Used aws:s3:BucketV2 for storage

๐Ÿ”น Website Hosting โ€“ Configured aws:s3:BucketWebsiteConfigurationV2

๐Ÿ”น Static File Uploads โ€“ Deployed index.html & error.html using aws:s3:BucketObject

๐Ÿ”น Pulumi Outputs โ€“ Extracted the website URL dynamically for easy access

๐ŸŒŸ Final Thoughts

This project was a fantastic introduction to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with Pulumi! It simplified cloud infrastructure management, making deployments more efficient and reproducible. Looking forward to building more with Pulumi! ๐Ÿš€โœจ
