This project is my submission for the Cloud Resume Challenge, where the goal is to deploy a personal resume website on the cloud using AWS services and demonstrate basic cloud engineering skills.

Project Overview

The Cloud Resume Challenge is designed to showcase cloud skills by building a resume website hosted on the cloud. This project focuses on:

• Hosting a static website with a resume.
• Using cloud-native services to handle storage, content delivery, and data analytics.
• Automating deployments with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Implementing a visitor counter to track website traffic.

Architecture

The website is deployed using the following architecture:

• S3 Bucket – Hosts the static website content (HTML, CSS, JS).
• CloudFront CDN – Distributes content globally with low latency.
• Route 53 – Provides a custom domain name and DNS management.
• DynamoDB – Stores visitor count data.
• Lambda Function – Updates the visitor counter in DynamoDB on each page visit.
• IAM Roles & Policies – Ensures secure access for AWS resources.
• CI/CD pipelines – Using GitHub Actions automatically deploys updates to the S3 bucket.

AWS Services Used

• Amazon S3 – Static website hosting
• Amazon CloudFront – Content Delivery Network (CDN)
• Amazon Route 53 – DNS management
• AWS Lambda – Serverless functions for visitor counter
• Amazon DynamoDB – NoSQL database for storing visitor data
• AWS IAM – Security and access management
• AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) – SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
