S3 Static Website Hosting

Currently an S3 bucket can’t be configured with a WebsiteConfiguration. Is there any sort of escape hatch to do this or would I need to create some sort of custom resource?

I know I could create CloudFront distribution, but I’m not looking to do that at the moment.

Hey, @Jumblemuddle, are you just looking to set up an s3 bucket as a static website, or something more involved? I’ve currently been able to set up a publicly readable s3 site with the following snippet.

const websiteBucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyStaticWebsite', {
  websiteIndexDocument: 'index.html',
  websiteErrorDocument: 'error.html'
});
websiteBucket.grantPublicAccess('*', 's3:GetObject');

Closing as we now have all the WebsiteConfiguration properties: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-s3.Bucket.html
