Summary

In this chapter, you learned what static websites are. You also learned about the common files that compose them, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You followed Chapter 1’s methodology of requirements gathering, architecture patterns, service selection, and diagraming to draw the architecture of your own static website, a personal page.

Then, using the AWS console, you built it.

Lastly, you learned about multiple possible enhancements that can take your static website to a production-level website. By now, you are capable of building globally distributed, highly available, highly resilient, secure static websites.

In the next chapter, you are going to go beyond static websites and create a dynamic web application to share recipes. You will put all your knowledge in static websites to use, but take it one step further.
