Static Me

An minimal static website terraform module for AWS.

This is a terraform module to setup a simple static website in S3. Ideal for react apps, gatsby sites, or whatever other static content you got.

Resource this creates

• AWS Certificate Manager: Creates a certificate for your domain. OR, if you already have a wildcard cert you use, you can opt to use that instead. #flexibility
• S3: Bucket for website files
• Cloudfront: Distribution pointing to the S3 bucket
• Route53: record to point to the cloudfront distribution

Usage

This might be your main.tf file:

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
}

module "aws_static_website" {
  source = "github.com/rewdy/tf-aws-static-me"

  # Route53 hosted zone to use, should already exist
  domain_hosted_zone = "rewdy.lol"

  # Domain name you want to use; can be the domain root or a sub domain
  domain_name = "rewdy.lol"
  support_spa = true

  tags = {
    Project = "rewdy.lol website"
  }
}

Some parts are heavily borrowed from terraform-aws-static-website (which is fuller-featured for those who are looking for that.)
