3.1 Problem-solving or challenges faced during the internship and how they

were addressed.

Challenges Faced

1.Configuring S3 Bucket Permissions for Public

Access Challenge:
Initially, when I uploaded the static website files to the S3 bucket, they were not accessible
publicly. The default bucket policies and access control lists (ACLs) in AWS restrict
public access for security reasons. As a result, attempts to access the website through the
S3 endpoint returned a "403 Forbidden" error.

Problem-Solving Approach:

 Step 1: Researched AWS documentation on bucket policies and public access.

 Step 2: Enabled "Static Website Hosting" in the bucket properties.
 Step 3: Configured a custom bucket policy that allowed public "GET" requests for
objects stored in the bucket while ensuring other actions (e.g., writes) remained
restricted.
 Step 4: Tested the configuration by accessing the website from multiple devices to verify
public availability.
This systematic approach ensured the website was accessible to users while maintaining
security best practices.

2. Handling Errors in Website

Navigation Challenge:
The website's navigation and routing were not functioning correctly. Clicking on broken or
incorrect links resulted in a generic "404 Not Found" error, which could confuse users.
Problem-Solving Approach:
 Step 1: Identified the issue by testing the links and observing the behavior
for missing pages.
 Step 2: Configured the “Error Document” setting in the S3 bucket to redirect
users to a custom 404 page, providing clear instructions and navigation options.
 Step 3: Created an intuitive error page using HTML and CSS to improve the
user experience.
This resolved the issue by ensuring that broken links redirected users to a helpful error
page rather than a blank error message.

3. Ensuring Security While Allowing Public

Access Challenge:
While enabling public access for the website, I had to ensure that sensitive bucket data and
other AWS resources were not exposed or misconfigured. Improper configurations could lead
to security vulnerabilities.

10
Problem-Solving Approach:

 Step 1: Used the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service to create
a dedicated policy for the S3 bucket, ensuring that only required actions (like
object reads) were allowed.
 Step 2: Regularly reviewed the "Public Access Settings" to confirm no
unauthorized changes occurred.
 Step 3: Enabled logging for the S3 bucket to monitor access patterns and
detect any suspicious activity.
This proactive approach balanced the need for public access with the importance of
maintaining data security.

4. Understanding and Optimizing Static Website Hosting

Challenge:

Deploying a static website on S3 required configuring settings that were new to me, such
as setting up the index document, enabling HTTP access, and understanding the
implications of S3’s eventual consistency model.
Problem-Solving Approach:
 Step 1: Followed tutorials and documentation provided by AWS and EduSkills to
familiarize myself with S3 hosting features.
 Step 2: Set up the "Index Document" in the bucket properties to ensure the
website loaded correctly when the endpoint was accessed.
 Step 3: Optimized the website files (e.g., minifying HTML and CSS) to
reduce load times and improve performance.
 Step 4: Validated the deployment using online tools to test the website's
speed, availability, and responsiveness.
These steps helped me successfully host a fully functional static website that met
industry standards.

5. Debugging Issues with File

Access Challenge:
Certain files (e.g., CSS and image assets) failed to load, resulting in a partially functional
website. This was due to incorrect file paths and MIME type issues.

Problem-Solving Approach:

 Step 1: Verified the file paths in the HTML files to ensure they matched
the uploaded files' locations in the S3 bucket.
 Step 2: Updated the S3 bucket to serve files with the correct MIME types by
configuring metadata for each file.
 Step 3: Tested the website after each change to confirm the issue was resolved.
This iterative debugging process ensured all assets loaded properly, resulting in
a seamless user experience.

11
 6. Testing Cross-Device and Cross-Browser Compatibility

Challenge:
The website needed to function consistently across different devices and browsers, which
required thorough testing and adjustments.

Problem-Solving Approach:

 Step 1: Used tools like Google Chrome Developer Tools and BrowserStack to
test the website on various screen sizes and browsers.
 Step 2: Adjusted the HTML and CSS to ensure responsiveness and compatibility
with popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
 Step 3: Gathered feedback from peers to identify and address additional issues.
This thorough testing approach ensured the website was accessible and visually
appealing on all platforms.

7. Addressing Deployment Challenges in a Live Environment

Challenge:
Hosting a website on AWS S3 for the first time came with challenges, such as ensuring a
smooth deployment process and resolving issues without affecting user access.

Problem-Solving Approach:

 Step 1: Adopted a phased deployment approach, starting with a local test

environment before uploading the website to the S3 bucket.
 Step 2: Created backups of the website files before making major changes to
ensure a rollback option was available if issues arose.
 Step 3: Used AWS CloudWatch to monitor the bucket and identify potential issues
during deployment.
This cautious and iterative approach ensured a stable and reliable deployment
process.

Summary of Problem-Solving Approach:

Throughout the internship, I employed a systematic approach to problem-solving, beginning

with clearly identifying each issue by observing its behavior and gathering relevant
details. I then researched potential solutions by consulting AWS documentation, tutorials,
and online resources. After planning, I implemented and tested these solutions in a
controlled environment to ensure their effectiveness. Based on test results and feedback, I
iteratively refined the approach to achieve optimal outcomes. Finally, I meticulously
documented each challenge, its resolution, and key insights gained, enabling continuous
learning and providing a reference for future tasks in cloud computing.
