In today's tech-driven world, with a plethora of tools and resources at our disposal, leveraging these to enhance efficiency is no longer an option, but a necessity. These tools, like Zola, GitHub Actions, and AWS services, are our allies in navigating the bustling landscape of web development. By employing them strategically, we're able to streamline our processes, thus freeing up more time to focus on what truly matters: crafting engaging, high-quality content and software.
In this post, we'll walk through the steps needed to host a static website built by Zola on AWS using Amazon S3 for storage,
Amazon CloudFront for content delivery, and Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) for SSL certification. We'll be using
this domain name rustronaut.com as an example.
