Requirements

• AWS CLI installed
• set up S3 bucket that is statically serving site and CF for that S3 resource on AWS
• credentials with access to bucket and CF resources (I suggest creating a user just for it)

I set up CF mostly for free SSL certificate, so if you don't need it you might just remove the invalidation from the script.

Installation:

• Create deployment directory.
• Create files using gists above and chmod +x them.
• Set up your credentials in config.sh - do not commit it! Add deployment/config.sh file to .gitignore.
• Add 'deployment' to exclude in _config.yml.

Usage:

./deployment/serve.sh - test site locally

./deployment/build.sh && ./deployment/publish.sh - build production version and publish it to S3 with invalidations.
