In one of my previous posts, I walked you through how I hosted a basic static website on Amazon S3 using just two humble files: an index.html and an image. It was simple, effective, and honestly kind of magical seeing my HTML come to life on the web. But as with most things in tech, I got curious - what if I could make it faster? More secure? Professional-grade? That curiosity led me to CloudFront, AWS's content delivery network (CDN). And in this post, I'll show you how I transformed that basic site into a globally distributed, supercharged web experience - and learned a ton in the process.
