Consider removing cloudfront distributions from static websites in GitHub Pages #731

@marcoieni

Description

@marcoieni

Some of our websites aren't visited so often that we need a cloudfront distribution in front of GitHub Pages.

  1. List all the static websites using cloudfront distribution. Examples:
    • thanks:
      • change dns
      • delete cloudfront distribution
    • forge
      • change dns
      • delete cloudfront distribution
  2. For each website, delete the cloudfront distribution from simpleinfra and from the GitHub Actions workflow

Specific instructions

For thanks.rust-lang.org we listed the following instructions in #597. I'm not sure if they are up to date or correct, but I'm reporting them anyway:

  • As an admin, change the GitHub settings (see Managing a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site)
  • As an admin, change the DNS record to point to GitHub Pages
  • As an admin, remove the CloudFront distribution once it is no longer used
  • Replace the static-websites action as per the instructions above
