The Burbs (Halsted)
Drinking my own champaign; hosting the AWS user group website on AWS Amplify
The AWS Chicago user group website had been victim of the proverb “the cobbler’s children have no shoes.” Why spend time on websites when I could be organizing events? AWS Amplify saves me development time and overhead. WordPress on Lightsail or EC2 was overkill but a no-code WYSIWYG builder like SquareSpace was not enough. I had custom CSS and HTML already hosted in GitHub. I followed blog posts to host a static S3 site but got hung up on custom domains and Route 53 networking. This talk will be both an overview and a quick guide to migrating static sites to AWS Amplify.
