believe-in-bucket on AWS Free Tier.Verified connection:
aws s3 ls aws s3 ls s3://believe-in-bucket
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
AmazonS3FullAccess and attach to EC2aws sts get-caller-identity SSH Connection Setup
Configured ~/.ssh/config on WSL2 and Windows
Verified connection:
ssh ec2-dev
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Issue: SCP using my-ec2 host failed due to “Could not resolve hostname”
Fix: Ensure the host alias in ~/.ssh/config matches the SSH command. Using actual EC2 public DNS worked.
VSCode Remote-SSH
Configured the same SSH config in VSCode
Connection worked, but public key permissions/paths needed corrections (used Windows paths in IdentityFile)
Uploading DevOps Folder to EC2
Created ~/DevOps folder on EC2
Copied index.html from WSL to EC2 via scp
Observation: Only index.html existed initially — no CSS/JS or subfolders.
aws s3 cp ~/DevOps s3://believe-in-bucket/ --recursive --acl public-read
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
AccessControlListNotSupported → caused by bucket having owner enforced ACLs
index.html uploaded → folder structure and .git skipped (by default & ACL errors)Removed --acl public-read
Excluded .git folder explicitly:
aws s3 cp ~/DevOps s3://believe-in-bucket/ --recursive --exclude ".git/*"
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
aws s3 ls s3://believe-in-bucket/ --recursive
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
index.html, css/style.css, js/app.js uploaded successfully.aws s3 website s3://believe-in-bucket/ --index-document index.html
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Troubleshooting:
Cause: Bucket is private, Block Public Access ON
Solution:
Disable Block Public Access (for testing)
Add bucket policy for public read:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": "*", "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::believe-in-bucket/*" } ] }
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
After this, the S3 URL was accessible.
Issue: Blank page appeared → cause: index.html had no content in <body>
Fix: Added minimal content to <body>:
<body> <h1>Welcome to AWS DevOps!</h1> </body>
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
index.html css/style.css js/app.js
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
.git was excluded--acl public-read fails on owner-enforced buckets → must use bucket policy for public access.Only uploads existing files
Empty folders are not stored in S3
Exclude .git to avoid ACL/metadata issues
Needs public read via policy
URL must match folder structure (index.html at root vs in subfolder)
Host alias in ~/.ssh/config must match command
Identity file path correct for WSL vs Windows
SCP requires correct relative path to copy folders
<body> or wrong paths for CSS/JSEC2 instance created and connected via SSH/VSCode
IAM role attached to allow S3 access
DevOps folder uploaded from WSL → EC2 → S3
Bucket policy allows public read, website enabled
Website successfully serves index.html and all static assets
