Answer 1

Answer - A, C and D.

This is given in the AWS Documentation.

Configuring a Bucket for Website Hosting.

You can host a static website in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket.

However, to do so requires some configuration.

Some optional configurations are also available, depending on your website requirements.

Required configurations:

Enabling Website Hosting.

Configuring Index Document Support.

Permissions Required for Website Access.

Option B is invalid since this is not a pre-requisite to have web sites hosted in S3.

To host a static website in S3, the following three steps need to be carried out:

1. Enable WebSite Hosting: This is the first step in hosting a static website in S3. You need to enable website hosting on the S3 bucket that you want to use to host your website. This can be done by navigating to the bucket properties and selecting the "Static website hosting" option. Once enabled, you need to specify the index document and error document for your website. The index document is the file that S3 serves when someone accesses your website's root URL.

2. Configure an Index Document: Once you have enabled website hosting, you need to configure an index document for your website. The index document is the file that S3 serves when someone accesses your website's root URL. You can configure the index document by specifying the name of the file that you want to use as your website's index document.

3. Ensure that Permissions are set for Website access: To make your website accessible to the public, you need to ensure that permissions are set for website access. You can do this by creating a bucket policy that grants read access to everyone. Once you have set the bucket policy, anyone can access your website using its URL.

Therefore, the correct answers are: A. Enable WebSite Hosting. C. Configure an Index Document. D. Ensure that Permissions are set for Website access.
