Best strategy to deploy static site to s3 on github push? [closed]

Answer 1

Rather than using an AWS service directly (as you say they nearly all expect a much more complicated setup, deploying to EC2 etc), you might be better off using a CI provider such as Shippable, Codeship or Wercker.

These all have the ability to fire from git updates, run build commands, install utilities into their CI images/containers and copy files to S3.

There's probably some startup which has built an exact tool for your purpose, but they haven't appeared on my radar yet :-)

Answer 2

i also recommend to use codeship,simple and easy, but you need to create IAM user with proper permission (which is policy) to S3 bucket.

the basic plan for codeship is free.

Well there might be a problem so far i can see codeship will not remove files as you remove files in github, after all, s3 is not github repo, but anyway, the putObject operations for lots of github update just works good enough to me.
