When I first setup my blog I started hosting hugo on an EC2 instance on AWS. Using EC2 for hosting a static site was expensive and inefficient. Running under EC2 meant I needed to keep up with patching of the underlying OS and other maintenance to keep the site running smoothly. I recently looked up what other people were using to host Hugo sites and I found an AWS service called Amplify. Amplify allows you to easily connect to a Git repo and rebuild the site automatically when changes are pushed to that Git repo. This allows for a simple and cheap way to host your blog without any need of the other overhead involved with hosting a site. Adding a blog post is as simple as creating a new Hugo page and committing the changes. Amplify will automatically clone the changes and rebuild the site.
