  "account": "Day 1 of my Cloud Workshop took place today. During the hands-on session, I set up my personal portfolio website using Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront. I discovered how to create an S3 bucket, upload my website, and set up a CloudFront distribution for accessing the site.\n\nTo begin, I opened Amazon S3 from the AWS Management Console. I created a new bucket named \"samiksha-44-15\" in the Europe (Stockholm) region, specifically in eu-north-1. The bucket was successfully created and displayed in the S3 bucket list.\n\nNext, I uploaded my portfolio website files to the bucket, which included an HTML file called \"index.html\". This file housed sections such as Home, About, Skills, Projects, Experience, and Contact. Amazon S3 was utilized to store the static website files.\n\nAfter that, I ventured into Amazon CloudFront from the AWS Management Console. CloudFront helps distribute website content to users efficiently through a global network of locations. I selected \"Create distribution\" and set up my S3 bucket as the origin for the distribution.\n\nUpon successful creation, the CloudFront distribution became Enabled. The S3 bucket was designated as the origin for the distribution. I then accessed my portfolio website through the CloudFront distribution domain in my browser, and it was displayed successfully.\n\nThrough this hands-on activity, I acquired knowledge on creating an Amazon S3 bucket, uploading website files, using S3 for static website hosting, the role of Amazon CloudFront, setting up a CloudFront distribution, configuring an S3 bucket as a CloudFront origin, and accessing a deployed website via a CloudFront domain.\n\nUltimately, I deployed my personal portfolio using Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront. This practical experience offered me insight into AWS cloud services, familiarizing me with the basic workflow of deploying a static website. Day 1 of my Cloud Workshop was a valuable learning experience, and I am eager to continue exploring cloud computing in the upcoming sessions.",
