Deploying a Static Website using AWS Cloud Development Kit

Everything is code in the cloud. In this lab, you’ll learn how to use the AWS Cloud Development Kit to deploy a static website hosted in Amazon S3 and exposed through Amazon CloudFront. The deployment is done with three separate stacks: one with a custom resource that deploys the static website, one that deploys Amazon DynamoDB resources, and one that deploys a web API that provides the back-end functionality of the website.
