Deploying Hugo Websites to AWS CloudFront and S3 for Faster Content Delivery

In posts On

A new way to deploy my hugo websites

A simple and cost-effective approach to deploying Hugo projects to AWS CloudFront.

I have and still do use services like AWS Amplify and Netlify to automate my CI/CD pipeline for many of my projects, triggered by a GitHub check-in and running in GitHub Actions. However, for a recent photography project that involved deploying a large number of files, storing everything in GitHub wasn’t feasible. I needed a solution that was simple, affordable, and delivered high performance. That’s when I decided to use AWS CloudFront with an S3 bucket, integrated with an SSL certificate generated through CloudFront.

Why AWS CloudFront?

  • Generate random score rows with animated flourish
  • Presentation mode for big screen action with controller to enter periodic scores
  • Calculate payouts based on price of a square

Project Timeline

Pick a Square, any Square! Only $n a square! Step right up folks and get your lucky square.

This was kind of a challenge from a friend of mine. He wanted squares for an event that was a website - html, not an image, that could be used on a big screen at a venue AND printed out on a poster OR standard paper all in one url, just works for all of those.

Here are some useful partials I use in this theme.

layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html

This replaces the default markup template for rendering an image when the markdown code ![Alt Text](/path/to/img.jpg) is used. It calls another partial you have to add to your theme or layout directory in your site called ImageConverter.
