Host a Website on AWS with a Custom Domain and HTTPS | S3, Route 53, CloudFront, Certificate Manager

This video provides a step by step instruction on how to set up website hosting on AWS including buying a domain from route 53, creating an aws certificate manager to enable in transit encryption (https), configuring an S3 bucket for static website hosting and set up a cloudfront to connect everything.

Thank you so much for your detail instruction.
For anyone who stuck at 18:27 as me (the option "Custom SSL" is disabled), the reason is that you did not "Request a certificate" at the right region.
In the Certificate Management zone (minute 14:54), please look at the top right corner and select region "US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1" before creating a request of certificate. Then everything works fine.
Hope this help! ^ ^

This is an excellent guide! I have been running into walls for the past week trying to get this to work with my google domain. I've touched all these resources but just couldn't get the connection between R53 and the S3 bucket to work through cloudfront with ssl. I followed your guide only using the NS records in google and at the end was pleased to see that lock in the address bar. Thank you so much!

that quick sidenote on copying the NS record values just saved my whole site! I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I couldn't get the SSL certificate I was requesting for days!. THANK YOU!!

For those with some issues:
I spent a lot of time wondering why the new UI was not allowing me https at first when creating my distribution. ( second selection in Origin on the top )
Just ignore it and go to next step about alternate.
My next mistake was that the tab I was using in my browser was not in the right zone for the ACM certificate.
Use the link provided to ACM in the form to be sure that you are viewing the right ACM page for your zone. ( Request certificate link ).
I cannot believe this YT tutorial does a better job thank Amazon itself. It is like they dont want it to be easy.
THANKS A LOT!

I followed all the steps but my website is still showing up as Not Secure. And to top it off, when I go to the CloudFront distribution domain it gives me a 504 error. Edit: Started over with a new domain, worked like a charm.

Will this work If I want to use this for my Roku channel? I would need to make this a Json feed for Roku.

[melindymercado]

Your video helped me, good job.
I am just wondering if I create another version of the website, will it synchronously update the website?

[mimobase]

I've watched so many video on this and struggled to make sense of any of them .. even though the screens in this are older - you absolutely nailed it. Following along I was able to set it up without a single issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[LeandroSilva-inph]

Thanks, guy. A great video as I like: simple and clear

[cognidigital]

The best explanation I've ever seen about this topic. Perfectly clear. Excellent job. Thank you.

[nishanthanravichandran]

Great !! That's amazing demonstration
Thank you

[JarrodSchilling]

Amazing, thank you! I had some issues with the zones, but once I knew which zone I had to be in for the Cloudfront, I went back and created a certificate in that zone. After that everything worked perfectly.

Thank you so much! I followed another youtube video to do this but he never included the last step which was to create a new record in route53. Subscribed!
