# Static Website on Amazon S3

A static website hosted on AWS S3

- Source on GitHub: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-go-s3-folder-component
- Deploy with Pulumi: https://app.pulumi.com/new?template=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpulumi%2Fexamples%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2Faws-go-s3-folder-component

## Get started with this example

This example lives in the [pulumi/examples](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-go-s3-folder-component) repo. Pull down just this directory to follow along:

```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-go-s3-folder-component
cd pulumi-examples/aws-go-s3-folder-component
```

The component version of [aws-go-s3-folder](https://github.com/pulumi/examples/tree/master/aws-go-s3-folder/). For a detailed walkthrough of this example, see [Tutorial: Pulumi Components](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/tutorials/aws/s3-folder-component/).

## Deploying and running the program

Note: some values in this example will be different from run to run.  These values are indicated
with `***`.

1.  Create a new stack:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi stack init website-component-testing
    ```

1.  Set the AWS region:

    ```
    $ pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
    ```

1.  Run `pulumi up` to preview and deploy changes.  After showing the preview you will be
    prompted if you want to continue or not.

    ```bash
    $ pulumi up
    Previewing stack 'website-component-testing'
    Previewing changes:
    ...

    Updating stack 'website-component-testing'
    Performing changes:

        Type                        Name                                                  Status
    +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack         aws-go-s3-folder-component-website-component-testing  created
    +   └─ pulumi:example:S3Folder  pulumi-static-site                                     created
    +      ├─ aws:s3:Bucket         pulumi-static-site                                     created
    +      ├─ aws:s3:BucketPolicy   bucketPolicy                                          created
    +      ├─ aws:s3:BucketObject   index.html                                            created
    +      └─ aws:s3:BucketObject   favicon.png                                           created

    Outputs:
        bucketName: "pulumi-static-site-***"
        websiteUrl: "pulumi-static-site-***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com"

    Resources:
        + 6 created

    Duration: 14s

    Permalink: ***
    ```

1.  To see the resources that were created, run `pulumi stack output`:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi stack output
    Current stack outputs (2):
        OUTPUT      VALUE
        bucketName  pulumi-static-site-***
        websiteUrl  pulumi-static-site-***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
    ```

1.  To see that the S3 objects exist, you can either use the AWS Console or the AWS CLI:

    ```bash
    $ aws s3 ls $(pulumi stack output bucketName)
    2020-04-20 22:52:15      13731 favicon.png
    2020-04-20 22:52:15        249 index.html
    ```

1.  Open the site URL in a browser to see both the rendered HTML and the favicon:

    ```bash
    $ pulumi stack output websiteUrl
    pulumi-static-site-***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
    ```

1.  To clean up resources, run `pulumi destroy` and answer the confirmation question at the prompt.
