Deploy a static web app to AWS Cloudfront and S3

There are two ways to deploy a static web apps to AWS CloudFront and S3.

1. Enable Static Website Hosting on S3. Once this is enabled, you can also setup CloudFront to point to S3 website endpoint. Make sure this is not the standard S3 endpoint. Here, CloudFront is simply caching the static files. All files in S3 will also be accessible without CloudFront.

2. Use CloudFront to point to the standard S3 endpoint. This way you make S3 bucket contents available only to CloudFront. In this scenario CloudFront both caches the files and is also a gatekeeper to all the files.
