☁️ AutoEC2WebDeployment

Automating website deployment on AWS EC2 using a simple Bash script.
This project sets up an Apache web server, copies your website file (index.html), and makes it accessible via the EC2 Public IPv4 address — all with a single command.

📝Introduction

Deploying a website on AWS EC2 often requires multiple manual steps like updating the system, installing a web server, configuring permissions, and starting services.
This project simplifies the process by using a single Bash script (deploy.sh) that automates everything.
It is designed for beginners and developers who want a quick way to host a static website on an EC2 instance without worrying about complex configurations.

🚀 Features

• One-command automated deployment on AWS EC2
• Installs and configures Apache web server automatically
• Copies your index.html file to the server’s web root
• Makes your website accessible using the EC2 Public IPv4 address
• Beginner-friendly and lightweight project

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Amazon EC2 → For hosting the website on the cloud.
• Apache HTTP Server → As the web server to serve the HTML file.
• Bash Script → For automating the deployment process.

⚙️ Installation / Run Locally

Follow these steps to set up and run the project on your EC2 instance:

1. Launch an EC2 instance

   • Use Amazon Linux 2.
   • Allow inbound rules for HTTP (port 80) and SSH (port 22).

2. Connect to your EC2 instance

   ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@your-ec2-public-ip
   

3. Clone this repository

    git clone https://github.com/Nishika10/AutoEC2-Web-Deployment.git
    cd AutoEC2-Web-Deployment
   

4. Place your website file

• Replace the provided index.html with your own HTML file (keep the same name).

5. Run the deployment script

    chmod +x deploy.sh
    ./deploy.sh

6. View your website

• Open your EC2 Public IPv4 address in the browser:

• http://your-ec2-public-ip

💻 Usage / Examples

1. Connect to your EC2 instance via SSH.
2. Clone this repository and place your index.html file in the project folder.
3. Run the deployment script:

   ./deploy.sh

4. Once the script finishes, open your EC2 Public IPv4 address in the browser:

• http://your-ec2-public-ip

🌐 Deployment

This project is deployed on:

• AWS EC2 (Amazon Linux 2)
• Apache Web Server for serving static content
• Bash Script (deploy.sh) to automate the entire process

With a single command, the script installs Apache, configures it, copies your website file (index.html), and makes the site accessible using your EC2 Public IPv4 address.
