create site

Upload a folder, get a HTTPS URL. Private S3 origin + CloudFront in front.

awsutopia create site <name> --src <dir> [--dry-run] [--json] [--yes]

deploy site is an alias for the same thing.

What you'll get

• Private S3 bucket utopia-{project}-{env}-site-{name} (encryption, versioning, public access blocked)
• CloudFront distribution with the default *.cloudfront.net certificate (HTTPS from day one)
• Utopia tags on the bucket + distribution so list / destroy can find it
• A printed URL + a rough static cost hint (or COST_UNAVAILABLE on list)

awsutopia create site www --src ./dist
# you'll get something like:
#   url: https://d1234abcd.cloudfront.net

awsutopia list
awsutopia destroy site www --yes

Flag	Default	Notes
--src	required	Directory of static files to upload
--dry-run	off	Print the plan; no AWS mutations
--json	off	Machine-readable success / error envelope

Custom domains (ACM + Route53) are a separate step: create domain.

HTTPS note

Sprint 6 ships HTTPS via CloudFront's default certificate first. That gets you a real URL without waiting on DNS. Attach your own name later with create domain.

Next

Point a custom name with create domain, tear down with destroy site.
