🚀 AWSUP - Lightning-Fast AWS Website Deployment

Production-grade CLI tool for deploying static websites to AWS using S3, CloudFront, Route53, and ACM. Zero configuration, maximum automation.

⚡ Quick Start

# Install globally
pip install awsup

# Deploy your website instantly
cd /path/to/your/website
awsup deploy yourdomain.com --website-path .

# Or deploy with default "Coming Soon" page
awsup deploy yourdomain.com

That's it! AWSUP handles all AWS infrastructure automatically.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Zero Config - Works out of the box
• 🔒 Secure by Default - SSL, OAC, encryption enabled
• ⚡ Lightning Fast - Global CloudFront CDN
• 🛡️ Production Ready - Comprehensive validation & error handling
• 🎨 Beautiful CLI - Rich terminal UI with progress bars
• 🔄 Smart State - Resumes interrupted deployments
• 🌍 Global - Works with any domain registrar

🎯 Common Workflows

React/Next.js:

npm run build
awsup deploy myapp.com --website-path ./build

Vue/Nuxt:

npm run generate  
awsup deploy myapp.com --website-path ./dist

Static HTML:

awsup deploy myapp.com --website-path ./public

Jekyll/Hugo:

awsup deploy myapp.com --website-path ./_site

📋 All Commands

# Deploy website
awsup deploy yourdomain.com --website-path ./build

# Deploy subdomain (requires parent domain already deployed)
awsup deploy api.yourdomain.com --website-path ./api-docs

# Check status
awsup status yourdomain.com

# Clear CDN cache
awsup invalidate yourdomain.com

# Remove all AWS resources
awsup cleanup yourdomain.com

# Advanced: Deploy in phases
awsup phase1 yourdomain.com    # DNS setup
awsup phase2 yourdomain.com    # Full deployment

🌐 Subdomain Deployment

AWSUP automatically detects subdomains and reuses the parent domain's Route53 hosted zone.

Requirements:

• Parent domain (e.g., example.com) must be deployed first
• Parent domain's Route53 hosted zone must exist in your AWS account

Example:

# First, deploy the parent domain
awsup deploy example.com --website-path ./main-site

# Then deploy subdomains (no NS configuration needed!)
awsup deploy api.example.com --website-path ./api-docs
awsup deploy blog.example.com --website-path ./blog
awsup deploy app.example.com --website-path ./app/build

Key Differences for Subdomains:

• ✅ Uses parent domain's hosted zone (no separate NS records)
• ✅ SSL certificate for subdomain only (no www subdomain)
• ✅ CloudFront distribution serves only the subdomain
• ✅ Faster deployment (no NS propagation wait)
• ✅ Cost-effective (single hosted zone for all subdomains)

Multiple Subdomains:

# Deploy as many subdomains as needed
awsup deploy staging.example.com --website-path ./staging
awsup deploy dev.example.com --website-path ./dev
awsup deploy docs.example.com --website-path ./docs

🔄 How It Works

1. Route53 - Creates hosted zone and DNS records
2. ACM - Requests and validates SSL certificate
3. S3 - Creates secure bucket and uploads files
4. CloudFront - Sets up global CDN with SSL
5. DNS - Configures domain routing

📋 Prerequisites

1. AWS Account with appropriate permissions
2. Python 3.8+ installed
3. AWS CLI configured with credentials
4. Domain name (registered with any registrar)

Required AWS Permissions

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "route53:*",
        "s3:*", 
        "cloudfront:*",
        "acm:*",
        "sts:GetCallerIdentity"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

🔧 Domain Configuration

After running awsup deploy, configure nameservers at your domain registrar:

Configure these nameservers at your registrar:
  NS1: ns-123.awsdns-12.com
  NS2: ns-456.awsdns-34.net
  NS3: ns-789.awsdns-56.org
  NS4: ns-012.awsdns-78.co.uk

Steps:

1. Log into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
2. Go to DNS settings for your domain
3. Change nameservers from default to custom
4. Enter the NS records shown above
5. Wait 5-30 minutes for DNS propagation

🛡️ Security Features

• S3 buckets are private (no public access)
• CloudFront Origin Access Control (OAC)
• TLS 1.2+ enforced with automatic SSL certificates
• Input validation for domains and files
• Security scanning of uploaded content

🚨 Troubleshooting

DNS Not Resolving

• Verify NS records at your registrar
• Wait up to 48 hours for propagation
• Test: dig yourdomain.com NS

CloudFront Not Updating

• Clear cache: awsup invalidate yourdomain.com
• Wait 15-20 minutes for changes

Certificate Issues

• Ensure NS records are configured
• Wait up to 30 minutes for validation

💰 Cost Estimates

For a small website (<1GB, <100GB transfer/month): ~$5-10/month

• Route53: $0.50 per hosted zone
• S3: ~$0.023 per GB stored
• CloudFront: ~$0.085 per GB transferred
• ACM: Free with CloudFront

🎛️ Advanced Usage

Multiple environments:

awsup deploy staging.myapp.com --website-path ./dist-staging
awsup deploy myapp.com --website-path ./dist-production

Custom configuration:

awsup init yourdomain.com --region us-west-2 --environment prod
