Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) allows you to host static websites by providing object level storage.
Amazon CloudFront is a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service which utilizes a network of edge locations to cache copies of your website content closer to users, reducing latency and ensuring faster delivery.
The steps to host a static website using S3 and CloudFront include: logging in to AWS and accessing S3, creating an S3 bucket, uploading website files, setting up CloudFront distribution, updating the S3 bucket policy, and accessing the website.
By combining the scalability of S3 and the speed of CloudFront, you can optimize your static website for performance and availability.
