Static Website CloudFormation Templates

A number of modular CloudFormation templates for static website resources.

Templates

See the full documentation on each template. Note that some templates depend on external resources, which must be provisioned first. These resources are linked in their descriptions.

• domain.template.yaml
• api-domain.template.yaml
• cloudfront-redirects.template.yaml
• static-website.template.yaml
• git-pipeline.template.yaml
• netlify-cms-deployment.template.yaml

Example Usage

Install the templates using npm:

npm install --save-dev @dawaltconley/cfn-static-website

Create a template that references these as nested templates:
