AWS SIMULEARN - 1

Hey all, I would like to share my experiences on using AWS SimuLearn from AWS SkillBuilder. So I have taken 3 courses for now.

Course-1 : Cloud Computing Essentials

It is all about the usage of Amazon S3 bucket. From my learnings, S3 bucket is used for storing objects and hosting websites. The objects stored in S3 containers are known as buckets. When an S3 bucket is configured for website hosting, the bucket is assigned a URL. When requests are made to this URL, Amazon S3 returns the HTML file, known as the root object, that was set for the bucket. For providing permissions, bucket policy can be used.

Steps followed in LAB session

1. Go to the console of AWS Lab provided in the course.
2. Click on S3 services or search for it.
3. Once clicking the S3, various bucket names are displayed.
4. Select the required bucket and review the existing files.
5. If required, existing files can be renamed via Actions bar on the top.

1. Click on the Permissions tab and review the bucket policy or create the bucket policy in json format.
2. Block the public access in the Permissions page.

1. Click on the Properties tab and enable the static hosting of a website.
2. Mention the Index document and Error document in the Properties page.
3. Give Save Changes at the end.
4. Now click on the provided URL from S3 to operate the website that is hosted.
