My Second Post
Welcome to My Hugo Site This is my second blog post on my new Hugo site. Reflections Going into this project, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. It was confusing at first. However, I’ve made a lot of progress so i’m replacing this filler content with my actual reflection for Lab 4: It was a little frustrating at first because our assignments and course instruction frequently mention cloud 9 which isn’t available to new AWS accounts. However, I eventually figured out there other options, i.e. using a local ide or codespaces along with hugo extended and pushing changes to github via codepipeline and codebuild (a good efficiency). Amplify could have made things even faster but it skips the pipeline tools… which defeats some of the purpose of this assignment. I like how this course is taking us incrementally through the tasks. Starting with the python scaffold, github examples and now iteratively with the videos. The content does need to be updated as the tools in Github, Hugo, and AWS are changing. Fortunately with Github and AWS there is ample documentation on how to do things and even AWS support if you run into a snag. There is a cost for running the services and because I had to activate paid services with my other course I’m no longer on thee free plan for AWS. Ultimately, I’m happy know that I can easily build static pages, manage an codepipeline and rapidly push changes from a local source to github and then to site within minutes. I’ve attached screenshots of my repo, pipeline and S3 bucket. Also, my repo is at this link with more information there in my README on my setup.
