Then, run the command:

aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket <BUCKET_NAME> --policy file://bucket-policy.json

PutBucketWebsite

This operation enables the bucket website feature and sets the basic configuration for the website.

PUT /my-bucket?website HTTP/1.1
{
    "IndexDocument" : {
        "Suffix": "index.html"
    },
    "ErrorDocument": {
        "Key": "error.html"
    }
}

To enable the bucket website feature via the CLI, you can create a file called bucket-website.json with the index and error page names.

{
    "IndexDocument" : {
        "Suffix": "index.html"
    },
    "ErrorDocument": {
        "Key": "error.html"
    }
}

Then, upload it using the following command:

aws s3api put-bucket-website --bucket <BUCKET_NAME> --website-configuration file://bucket-website.json
