• HOSTED_ZONE_ID - is your Route53 zone for the domain, should look like Z07414553OA4KK51T5EZA

Deploy the site

The deploy command will deploy your static site to the S3 bucket and invalidate the CloudFront cache. You may update as per your needs, by default the copy command excludes all paths in the current folder, in order to prevent deploying sensitive info.

aws s3 cp ./ s3://S3_BUCKET_NAME \
--acl public-read \
--profile AWS_PROFILE \
--recursive \
--exclude "*" \
--include index.html \
--include 404.html \
&& aws cloudfront create-invalidation \
--profile monithor \
--distribution-id DISTRIBUTION_ID \
--paths "/*"

Where:

• S3_BUCKET_NAME - is your S3 bucket name
• AWS_PROFILE - is your credentials profile
• DISTRIBUTION_ID - is your CloudFront distribution ID
