Looks like the Route53 prices came down a lot over the years, so I might take another look at it. I'm paying a buck/month for Google hosting my DNS and I like the feature set a lot, but there's something to be said for being all-in on one vendor since AWS's APIs are pretty solid.
I guess I'd say don't bother with the CF thing unless you get lots of interest from other folks. Your howto helps a lot in connecting the dots for the S3 and IAM parts. I might take a crack at the automation thing in CF/Ansible/Terraform just for the adventure as time permits, mainly to fiddle around. I'm very happy with going Lightsail years ago literally the day it was announced, but I just rsync my weewx public_html up to nginx with no other services there, so maybe it's simpler to go S3 and not need to do ubuntu package updates. Thinking about it... Thanks for the updates.
