## Creating a Custom Terraform Provider and Integrating CloudFront with Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) to host a Static Website with Terraform.
**TerraTowns** is a community website where terraformers launch their own Terra House (user-created website).
Our main objectives were to create, test, and deploy a custom Terraform provider using HashiCorp's structured language (HCL) and Go. Afterwards, AWS Cloudfront and S3 were utilized to host a Static Website.
Other languages utilized included HTML and Ruby along with Shell scripting.
Refactoring, testing, and documentation were vital throughout the project along with GitOps and good version control practices.
