Regularly register a domain and want to put some web content there?

This repo includes:

A shell script that:

* Adds a hosted zone in Route53 for your domain * Prints the NS records for your domain so you can update your registrar

AND

A Terraform module that does the following:

* Creates an S3 bucket (domainname) * Creates a second S3 bucket for logs (domainname-logs) with a lifecycle policy to delete logs after 15 days * Creates a CloudFront distribution * Creates an SSL certificate for the domain name (adding www. as a subject alternative name) * Creates a Route53 record for the domain name (adding www. as a CNAME) * Creates an IAM user & policy for a github action. Warning: Check the permissions, they are too liberal right now :). * (optional) Creates Route53 MX records and TXT validation record for Google Workspace

AND

A shell script that:

* Adds AWS credentials to your github repo secrets so you can use a github action to deploy your website to the bucket (using something like Jekyll).
