Daily Goals – Apply for 5-10 job postings; Continue reading AWS SAA study guide; Perform basic tasks in S3; Practice using CLI to accomplish tasks in S3

  1. Registered the domain name randybuilds.com using Route 53
  2. Created two buckets – one for the root domain randybuilds.com and another bucket for the subdomain www.randybuilds.com.  The subdomain bucket will be used strictly for redirects back to the root domain bucket.
  3. Configured root domain bucket for static website hosting using a bucket policy
  4. Configured subdomain bucket for website redirects
  5. Configured logging for website traffic – Error?? Cross S3 location logging not allowed.
  6. Created an index.html from scratch in VS Code
  7. Copied index.html from my local machine to S3 root domain bucket using the CLI
  8. Tested my domain endpoint using the root domain bucket’s Website Endpoint to verify that index.html content was visible on the Internet 
  9. Added an alias for my domain and subdomain in Route 53
