AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Deploy a Static Website with Contents

The video tutorial demonstrates how to use AWS CDK to build and deploy a static website hosted on S3. It covers setting up a CDK stack, configuring an S3 bucket with public access, and deploying website assets using the S3 deployment module. The tutorial also explains the use of a Lambda function for asset transfer and concludes with testing the deployed site.

What is the primary reason for choosing a static website as the first application to build with CDK?

• It does not require any AWS services.

• It requires the least amount of coding.

• It is a simple example to gradually increase complexity.

• It is the most popular use case for CDK.

Which configuration is necessary for the S3 bucket to serve a static website?

• Configure cross-region replication.

• Enable public read access.

• Set up a lifecycle policy.

• Enable server-side encryption.

What is the purpose of versioning the S3 bucket in this setup?

• To improve the performance of the website.

• To reduce the cost of storage.

• To allow multiple users to access the bucket simultaneously.

• To enable rollback in case of errors.

What is the role of the S3 deployment module in this process?

• To manage the permissions of the S3 bucket.

• To create the S3 bucket.

• To monitor the performance of the website.

• To deploy assets to the S3 bucket.

How does the S3 deployment module handle the assets before uploading them to the target bucket?

• It encrypts them for security.

• It splits them into smaller files.

• It converts them to JSON format.

• It compresses them into a zip file.

What AWS service is used to automate the copying of files to the target bucket?

• AWS RDS

• AWS SNS

• AWS Lambda

• AWS EC2

What should you check in the CloudFormation console to verify the deployment of the static website?

• The configuration of the IAM roles.

• The number of EC2 instances running.

• The status of the CloudFront distribution.

• The creation of the Lambda function and resources.
