S3 Static Website Hosting

• Amazon S3 can be used for Static Website hosting with Client-side scripts.
• S3 does not support server-side scripting.
• S3, in conjunction with Route 53, supports hosting a website at the root domain which can point to the S3 website endpoint
• S3 website endpoints do not support HTTPS or access points
• For S3 website hosting the content should be made publicly readable which can be provided using a bucket policy or an ACL on an object.
• Users can configure the index, and error document as well as configure the conditional routing of an object name
• Bucket policy applies only to objects owned by the bucket owner. If the bucket contains objects not owned by the bucket owner, then public READ permission on those objects should be granted using the object ACL.
• Requester Pays buckets or DevPay buckets do not allow access through the website endpoint. Any request to such a bucket will receive a 403 -Access Denied response

AWS Certification Exam Practice Questions

• Questions are collected from Internet and the answers are marked as per my knowledge and understanding (which might differ with yours).
• AWS services are updated everyday and both the answers and questions might be outdated soon, so research accordingly.
• AWS exam questions are not updated to keep up the pace with AWS updates, so even if the underlying feature has changed the question might not be updated
• Open to further feedback, discussion and correction.
