I deployed a fully live static website to the internet using AWS EC2, Docker, and Nginx. Seeing my work accessible at http://35.176.161.171 was a proud moment. I built the entire setup from scratch:

• Launched an Ubuntu 22.04 EC2 instance• Configured Security Groups for SSH (22) and HTTP (80)• Automated server setup using cloud-init (User Data)• Installed and configured Docker• Cloned a static website from GitHub• Wrote a custom Docker file using Nginx, Alpine• Built the Docker image and ran the container on port 80• Accessed the live site from the browser fully deployed and running This project helped me deepen my understanding of real DevOps workflows:• How cloud-init automates provisioning at boot• The difference between a Docker image and a container• How to write a Docker file and serve static files with Nginx• How to troubleshoot real-world issues like port conflicts and container name clashes• How Docker, Nginx, and cloud infrastructure integrate in a practical DevOps pipeline Tech StackAWS EC2 | Ubuntu 22.04 | Docker | Nginx | cloud-init | GitHub Each issue forced me to slow down, read the error, understand the root cause, and fix it. That’s the real DevOps mindset: build, break, debug, learn, repeat.
