Project Description
The project involves hosting a static website using an AWS S3 bucket. Amazon S3 is an object storage service that provides a simple web services interface to store and retrieve any amount of data. The website files will be uploaded to an S3 bucket and configured to function as a static website. The bucket will be configured with the appropriate permissions and a unique domain name, making the website publicly accessible. Overall, the project aims to leverage the benefits of AWS S3 to host and scale a static website in a cost-effective and scalable manner.

Navigate to S3 in the AWS management console and create a bucket.
Provide the bucket name and select the AWS region to place the bucket in.
Allow public access as we will be accessing the website from outside.
