See overall documentation in the repo README.
This example deploys a very basic, publicly accessible, website. It has no custom domain name, nor does it upload content (see the other examples for adding that behavior).
This will use the default AWS profile in your shell - make sure that is setup correctly first.
To create a stack with the default stack name (basic-example-website), run:
npm install && npm run deployAnd then wait a few minutes - CloudFront takes a while to deploy.
Assuming the deploy process is successful you will be able to find a new stack in CloudFormation (
named basic-example-website), a new CloudFront distribution, and a new S3 bucket. Upload files to the S3 bucket, and
they will appear under the CloudFront-provided URL.
If you want to deploy content during the deployment process, or want to use a custom domain name, then see the other examples.
To cleanup, delete the CloudFormation stack in CloudFormation, or with cdk destroy . NB: this will not delete the S3 bucket in the stack, so you should delete that manually.
