Amazon Web Services AWS Broken Labs

Lab 02 - Website Access II

Difficulty: Beginner Service: Amazon S3

Scenario

A teammate deployed this stack to host a static web page and sent you the BucketURL from the CloudFormation Outputs to verify it loads. When you open the URL they shared, you get an error instead of the page.

What Was Deployed

Resource Purpose
AWS::S3::Bucket S3 bucket containing a static index.html
AWS::S3::BucketPolicy Bucket policy granting public s3:GetObject on all objects

The stack deployed without errors.

Deploy the Lab

  1. Open the AWS CloudFormation console
  2. Click Create stack > With new resources (standard)
  3. Select Upload a template file and upload lab-02-website-access-ii.yaml
  4. Enter a stack name (e.g., brokenlabs-lab-02) and click Next > Next > Submit
  5. Wait for the stack status to reach CREATE_COMPLETE
  6. Open the stack Outputs tab — you will see BucketName and BucketURL

The Problem

Your teammate sent you this link. Open it in your browser:

Test the link your teammate shared

Expected: the page loads. Actual: the browser displays an XML error:

<Error>
