📄 DevOps Project: Deploy Static Website on AWS S3 using GitHub Actions

---

Project Overview

This project demonstrates a simple DevOps pipeline that automates deployment of a static website to AWS S3 using GitHub Actions.

• Website: Static HTML page (index.html)
• CI/CD: Automated deployment using GitHub Actions
• Cloud Provider: AWS S3 (Static Website Hosting)
• Goal: Any update pushed to the main branch is automatically deployed to the S3 bucket

This project is ideal for beginners learning DevOps, CI/CD concepts, and cloud deployment.

CI/CD Pipeline Highlights

• Automatically triggers on push to main branch

• GitHub Actions workflow:

  • Checks out repository
  • Configures AWS credentials securely using secrets
  • Syncs website files to S3 bucket

• Ensures that latest code is always live

• Manual intervention not required

---

Key Features

• Fully automated CI/CD pipeline
• Secure deployment using GitHub Secrets
• Scalable: Can be extended to multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
• Fast & lightweight deployment for static sites

---

Benefits

• Reduces manual deployment errors
• Ensures continuous delivery
• Enables version control and rollback
• Provides a real-world example of DevOps principles

---

Future Improvements

• Integrate CloudFront CDN for faster load times and HTTPS
• Use Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Implement monitoring & alerts using CloudWatch
• Add automated tests before deployment for production readiness
• Extend project to deploy dynamic websites using AWS services
