Introducing Easy Continuous Deployment to Amazon S3
Blog post from Semaphore
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a versatile component of AWS that facilitates the storage and retrieval of any type of data via an API and a web interface, with capabilities extending to hosting static websites. Semaphore has introduced an integration that simplifies the automatic building and deployment of static websites to S3 from Git repositories, promoting ease of use similar to its previous integration with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. This integration allows users to manage S3 buckets, execute custom site building commands, and maintain deployment history without needing to navigate the S3 web interface. Semaphore offers both automatic and manual deployment options, enhancing continuous deployment workflows for teams. For those unfamiliar with static website engines, staticgen.com is recommended as a resource, and further guidance is available in the related documentation. The new integration aims to streamline the process of deploying to S3, encouraging improved workflow efficiency.
