Host a Static Website on Amazon S3 with the AWS Native Provider

A static website hosted on AWS S3

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set aws-yaml-static-website
cd pulumi-examples/aws-yaml-static-website

A static website that uses S3’s website support. For a detailed walkthrough of this example, see the tutorial Static Website on AWS S3.

Note: Some resources are not yet supported by the Native AWS provider, so we are using both the Native and Classic provider in this example. The resources will be updated to use native resources as they are available in AWS’s Cloud Control API.

Deploying and running the program#

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

  1. Install required plugins:

    Terminal window
    pulumi plugin install resource aws 4.37.3
    pulumi plugin install resource aws-native 0.11.0
  2. Create a new stack:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack init dev
  3. Set the AWS region:

    Either using an environment variable

    Terminal window
    export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

    Or with the stack config

    Terminal window
    pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2
    pulumi config set aws-native:region us-west-2
  4. Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes. After the preview is shown you will be prompted if you want to continue or not.

    Terminal window
    pulumi up
    Previewing update (dev)
    ...
    Updating (dev)
    View Live: https://app.pulumi.com/***/aws-native-ts-s3-folder/dev/updates/1
    Type Name Status
    + pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-native-ts-s3-folder-dev created
    + ├─ aws-native:s3:Bucket s3-website-bucket created
    + ├─ aws:s3:BucketPolicy bucketPolicy created
    + ├─ aws:s3:BucketObject index.html created
    + └─ aws:s3:BucketObject favicon.png created
    Outputs:
    bucketName: "***"
    websiteUrl: "http://***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
    Resources:
    + 5 created
    Duration: ***
  5. To see the resources that were created, run pulumi stack output:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack output
    Current stack outputs (2):
    OUTPUT VALUE
    bucketName ***
    websiteUrl http://***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
  6. To see that the S3 objects exist, you can either use the AWS Console or the AWS CLI:

    Terminal window
    aws s3 ls $(pulumi stack output bucketName)
    2021-09-30 15:27:58 13731 favicon.png
    2021-09-30 15:27:58 198 index.html
  7. Open the site URL in a browser to see both the rendered HTML and the favicon:

    Terminal window
    pulumi stack output websiteUrl
    ***.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

    Hello S3 example

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