Answer 1

You are going to want to turn on the 'static website' options for the bucket - its that simple.

To host a static website, you configure an Amazon S3 bucket for website hosting and then upload your website content to the bucket. For more information, see Configuring a Bucket for Website Hosting. This bucket must have public read access. It is intentional that everyone in the world will have read access to this bucket. To learn how to configure public read access for your bucket, see Permissions Required for Website Access.
