and welcome back to backspace Academy in 2
this section I'm going to break with 3
tradition a little bit and I'm going to 4
just basically throw you into the deep 5
end so we're going to create a very 6
complex and bulletproof architecture 7
with no experience whatsoever so that 8
will enable you to get some very good 9
confidence in using Amazon Web Services 10
and you'll also learn about the power of 11
Amazon Web Services not only the power of 12
Amazon Web Services, the simplicity of using 13
and utilizing that power for hosting a static website 14
you'll get exposure to many commonly used services 15
and that will include the Amazon s3 service or simple storage service and 16
we're going to use that to upload our website to Amazon Web Services and then 17
we're also going to use that same service to host this website to the wider Internet 18
once that's set up then we can start looking at getting some really high performance out of our website 19
and the way we can do that is by using the cloud front content delivery network 20
what that will do, 21
it will grab a copy of that website and it will distribute across well over 50 edge locations across the globe 22
so what that means is that when someone 23
accesses your website they're going to get very very 24
low latency very fast response to those 25
requests to your website 26
once that's up and running and we've created a 27
cloudfront distribution or that cache that has 28
been distributed across these edge locations 29
we can then look at using the 30
route 53 domain name service to route 31
traffic that is going to go to our domain to that cloud front distribution 32
once that's up and running then we're going to go a little bit step further in there and then we're going to look at 33
implementing HTTPS and 34
so we'll do that by using the AWS certificate manager to 35
create a Secure Sockets Layer SSL certificate for us and we will associate that certificate 36
with our cloud front distribution 37
so there's a lot going on there 38
it's a big exercise to do at the start but I'm sure you can appreciate 39
when you get at the end of this you're going to realize that 40
yes you can do this yes this is what you want to do and 41
yes there is certainly a very bright light 42
at the end of this AWS tunnel and 43
it's certainly worthwhile persisting and 44
getting to the end of this course so 45
without any further ado let's go and 46
jump in at the deep end
