• AWS::CloudFront::CloudFrontOriginAccessIdentity
• AWS::Route53::RecordSet - <domain> IPv4 DNS entry
• AWS::Route53::RecordSet - <domain> IPv6 DNS entry
• AWS::Route53::RecordSet - www.<domain> IPv4 DNS entry
• AWS::Route53::RecordSet - www.<domain> IPv6 DNS entry
• AWS::S3::Bucket - private access log bucket
• AWS::S3::Bucket - private static asset bucket
• AWS::S3::Bucket - private bucket to redirect requests to https://<domain>
• AWS::S3::BucketPolicy - only allow CloudFront to access static asset bucket
• AWS::CloudFront::Function - CloudFront Function for single page applications to redirect requests to /index.html
