Moving to CloudFormation¶
Did a quick CLoudFront distribution this morning just to see how the process works through the AWS Web Console. The basic process includes:
- Creating the SSL certificate in ACM
- Validate the certificate in Route 53 (
CNAME
entry) - Configure CloudFront:
- Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
- Link to the SSL certificate
- Link to the S3 bucket
There are some finer details, but I need ot do some further reading and experimentation on another domain in order to post the full details. Hoping to do this soon.
Also discovered the Restricting access to Amazon S3 content by using an origin access identity (OAI) page which I need to spend some time on. I have enabled this feature, but I must admit I don't fully understand the details yet.
Another change I had to make was to make MkDocs
use the index.html
pages when ever linking to a directory. This is accomplished by setting the use_directory_urls
parameter to FALSE
.
