This stack builds a setup to deploy a client side app on s3 with Cloudfront as a CDN and HTTPS using AWS Certificate Manager

🔓 Before using the makefile, you need aws CLI installed and configured (aws configure --profile bigoudi) and an user-account on the AWS account of Bigoudi with enough permissions to run the update.

• git clone [email protected]:NicolasRitouet/bigoudi.git
• change bigoudi with your own project name
• change bigou.di with your own domain name
• if you don't have one, create a new AWS account
• create a new profile for the AWS cli with your AWS account
• modify params.json with your domain name and ARN certificate
• make create-stack

The main goal of this stack is to be cost-efficient and easily scalable.

• s3 costs a few cents per month for less than 1Gb
• Cloudfront will be almost free with a limited traffic (if the traffic increases, you'll be hopefully glad to pay a few $ more)
• Route53 Hosted Zone (0.50$ per month)
• AWS Certificate manager creates SSL certificates for free and automatically renewd by AWS

In total, for a website with low traffic, the cost should be around 0.60$ per month.

This template will create a stack containing the following AWS resources:

• an S3 bucket for the logs
• an S3 bucket for the website
• a Cloudfront Distribution
• an hosted Zone for bigou.di
• a DNS record set for bigou.di
• a DNS record set for www.bigou.di

A second cloudformation stack ssl.yml is available to create the SSL certificate.

It will create a wildcard certificate for bigou.di and bigoudi.com

This can be done manually or using this command: AWS_REGION=us-east-1 STACK_NAME=ssl-bigoudi STACK_FILE_NAME=ssl make create

⚠️ The SSL certificate needs to be deployed in the us-east-1 region to be associated with Cloudfront.

Once the SSL certificate has been created, copy paste the ARN in the params.json file.

Use the following command to find the ARN:
AWS_REGION=us-east-1 STACK_NAME=ssl-bigoudi STACK_FILE_NAME=ssl make output

make create
