AWS CloudFront & S3 Security for Front-End

Front-end applications often rely on cloud storage for static assets, but ensuring these assets are securely delivered without exposing the underlying storage can be challenging. This course guides front-end engineers through establishing robust security for static websites hosted on AWS, enabling confident deployment of highly available and protected web content. What you'll learn: * Understand foundational AWS services for static site hosting: S3 and CloudFront * Configure S3 buckets for secure content storage and web hosting * Implement CloudFront distributions to efficiently deliver web assets globally * Apply Origin Access Control (OAC) to restrict S3 bucket access exclusively to CloudFront * Practice deploying secure static sites using infrastructure-as-code principles * Troubleshoot common access and configuration issues in CloudFront and S3 The course begins with core concepts of cloud-based static site hosting, then systematically walks through configuring S3 and CloudFront, focusing on secure access patterns and efficient content delivery. It progresses to practical implementation of secure deployment strategies. This course is for beginner front-end developers and engineers who want to learn how to host and secure static websites on AWS. No prior experience with AWS is required. Start building and deploying secure static web applications with confidence.
