Cloud Deployment Challenge is brought to you by your friends at Last Call Media, it is designed to assess your skills and to see how you solve problems. Please fork this repo and then use a common IaC tool to host the content in web/ on AWS and password protect the hosted site
We anticipate this will take about two hours. If you're still working on it after two hours please stop and send us what you have. This is more about seeing how you approach the problem
You have full access to us-east-1 and us-west-2. Credentials should have been provided separately. You can generate as many as you want but those expire after an hour. If you plug them into credentials.sh you'll get credentials back that don't expire

- Link to the forked repo containing your solution
- A README with a brief explanation of your solution and anything else you’d like us to know
Please be prepared to talk about your solution and to help troubleshoot if we can’t make it work
Some basic scaffolding you may find useful is included but please feel free to use other tools if you prefer
We don't expect you to write the auth stuff. There are lots of examples on GitHub if you'd like to use one of those. For example
