Why not just serve direct out of S3?


S3 website hosting lacks official IPv6 support, HTTP/2, TLS 1.3.


What does that matter for a static blog site?


Offers subpar speed and accessibility. Of course all the problems could be solved by simply using a CDN like Cloudflare.


Why the hell wouldn’t you use a CDN? Throwing up files on S3 and then putting your site behind a CDN has to be way cheaper and more available than serving it out of some EC2 server running Nginx 24/7.
