This Terraform script provisions an AWS S3 bucket configured to host a static website. The configuration ensures that the bucket supports public access, ownership controls, and stores essential website files, including HTML and images.
- Creates an S3 bucket for static website hosting.
- Configures index.html as the default landing page.
- Sets public read access for hosted content.
- Uploads an HTML page (
index.html) and images (contact-us.jpg,website.png). - Allows full bucket ownership control.
- Applies an S3 bucket policy to allow public read access to the website.
- Outputs the S3 bucket URL endpoint for easy access.
Ensure you have the following installed:
- Terraform
- AWS CLI configured with appropriate credentials.
Run the following command to initialize the Terraform project:
terraform initCheck for syntax errors in your Terraform code:
terraform validateDeploy the resources to AWS:
terraform apply -auto-approveOnce applied, obtain the S3 website endpoint:
echo "http://$(terraform output -raw bucket_url_endpoint)"Open the URL in a browser to confirm the website is live.

}To destroy the created AWS resources, run:
terraform destroy -auto-approve- Ensure index.html and images (
contact-us.jpg,website.png) exist in your local directory before applying Terraform. - AWS may block public access by default. We created an S3 bucket policy to allow public-read access.
- You can configure CloudFront for enhanced performance and security.
