01The Mission

Notes 04 called object storage a coat check: hand in a coat, get a ticket, and from then on the ticket is the only way to get the coat back. So far that has been a story on a page. This week you check in your first real coat — and the ticket you get back is a URL that works for everyone on Earth.

There is a before and an after in this course: before, the cloud was slides; after, you have a URL. This project is the line between them.

The page itself can be about anything you like — your dog, your favorite album, a collection of jokes you stand behind, a ranking of campus vending machines. Keep it class-appropriate; everything else is fair game. Write the HTML by hand, however scrappy. Scrappy is charming. A template dump is not.

Plate 1 — Your first coat, checked inticket = URL · the whole internet holds a copy of your ticket

Right: a globe. An arrow labeled anyone with the URL connects them.

02The Four Steps

  1. Make one HTML page. One file, written by you, about something you actually care about. CSS and pictures welcome, not required. If you have never written HTML: open a text editor, type <h1>hello</h1>, save it as index.html, open it in a browser. You now write HTML.
  2. Put it in a bucket on the provider account you made in Week 1 — Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage. Make a bucket, upload the file. That is the coat going over the counter.
  3. Flip the public switch. Buckets are born private; one setting makes your page visible to the world. Find yours in Table 2 below.
  4. Open the URL in an incognito window. If it loads there, it loads for me and for everyone. Copy that URL — it is your deliverable.
Table 2 — The one switch, by provider
ProviderWhere the switch lives
Amazon S3Bucket → Properties tab → Static website hosting → Enable, index document index.html. S3 will also make you turn off Block all public access (Permissions tab) and paste the one-paragraph public-read bucket policy the docs hand you — that is S3 being careful, not you doing something wrong.
Google Cloud StorageBucket → Permissions tab → Grant access → principal allUsers, role Storage Object Viewer. (Optional: the bucket's Edit website configuration sets index.html as the main page.)
Azure Blob StorageStorage account → Static website (under Data management) → Enabled, index document index.html. Azure creates a $web container for you — upload your file there and it hands you the web address.

That's it. No DNS. No TLS certificate. No custom domain. The long, ugly bucket URL is fine — in fact it is expected. Pretty names are Week 5 material.

Will this cost me anything?

No. This is deep free-tier territory — a 50 KB page served a few hundred times costs effectively nothing on any of the three providers. But keep your budget alert on, as always. That habit is the course.

03Hand In

Submission — BrightspaceDue Mon 19 Oct 2026 · 11:59 PM · late −10%/day

Exactly two things:

  1. The live URL of your page, pasted as text.
  2. One screenshot of your bucket's console page showing your file sitting in it.

Explicitly not required: no report, no diagram, no cost estimate, no Git repository. (If you're proud of your page, attach the .html file too — I'd love to see it — but it earns no points.)

05FAQ

Can I use CSS? Pictures?
Yes — just upload more files into the same bucket next to your page and link to them. More coats, same coat room.
My URL is long and ugly.
That's authentic. A raw bucket URL is proof you did the real thing. Pretty names (DNS, custom domains) are Week 5 material and not required here.
My bucket is private but the one file is public — is that okay?
Either shape is fine. The only test that matters: does the URL open in an incognito window? If yes, you're done.
