Deploy a static site to multiple regions in S3 Use a load balancer to direct the user to the closest region

Can a static site be deployed to multiple regions in S3 and use a load balancer to direct the user to the nearest region?

I didn't try anything

  1. setup S3 Cross-Region replication from your primary bucket to one or more buckets in other Regions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/replication.html
    1. You can configure a whole bucket to replicate, or just a subset of objects to replicate. Make sure you configure it so all your site assets are replicated
    2. If you would rather be able to upload/change assets in any bucket (not just a designated primary), you can set-up bi-directional replication
  2. Setup CloudFront to use S3 as an origin [whitepaper], [hands-on lab]
  3. Load balancing is not natively supported by CloudFront, but your options are
    1. Failover routing, where it will use onw bucket to serve requests, but if that request fails, it will use the other bucket (origin)
    2. Routing requests based on behaviors

Alternatively, instead of step 3, you may be able to use Multi-Region Access Points in Amazon S3. This provides a single access point that will route you to the bucket with the lowest latency.
