Leading up to AWS re:Invent 2024, AWS <a target="_blank" href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/simplify-and-enhance-amazon-s3-static-website-hosting-with-aws-amplify/">announced</a> the integration between Amplify and S3. With this feature, it’s never been easier to migrate your site from an S3 bucket to a content delivery network (CDN). The benefits of this migration include:
<ul>
<li>Automatic deployment to the globally available AWS content delivery network (CDN) powered by CloudFront
</li>
<li>HTTPS support
</li>
<li>Easily connect your website to a custom domain using the Amplify console
</li>
<li>Bring your own Custom SSL certificates
</li>
<li>Monitor your website with built in access logs and CloudWatch metrics
</li>
<li>Set up password protection for your website
</li>
<li>Create redirect and rewrites rules in the Amplify console
</li>
</ul>
If you already have you site hosted in an S3 bucket, the process only take a couple of clicks. First, inside of your S3 bucket, go to the Properties tab and scroll down to the Static website hosting. Click on the button Create Amplify App.
