S3 is the right answer for anyone with even passing familiarity with AWS. Bit of a pain that HTTPS requires cloudfront, but otherwise the dead-simplest way of getting HTML to a browser.

As an exercise a few months ago I tried deploying a static site to a freshly purchased domain on netlify, start to finish I found it took less time than any aws workflow and gave me free inbound forms.

I say this as a very experienced aws and s3 user who also has several static and dynamic sites on s3 buckets, VPS & ECS.

netlify for simple static sites is a simpler and faster workflow with https and forms as 0 config and free.
