# Handover: Static Site Hosting

## What was set up
- Private S3 bucket with public access blocked
- CDN distribution with HTTPS and origin access control
- Terraform code in this repository

## How to update the site
    aws s3 sync ./site s3://client-site-bucket --delete
    aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id EXAMPLEID --paths "/*"

## Access
My temporary IAM user should now be deleted by the client.

## Costs
Storage and CDN usage charges apply; budget alert configured.

Cloud Engineer | AWS, Terraform, CI/CD

I set up small, secure AWS environments and automate them
with Terraform.

Typical tasks:
- Static websites with private buckets, CDN and HTTPS
- Terraform for small VPC and server setups
- CI pipelines that build and deploy containers

I work with least-privilege access and hand over clear
documentation. Samples: <portfolio link>
