+  * HTTPS outbound was not set up
+    * I did not check outbound rules (even when the lab explicitly called this out)
+      because it mentioned lab 2, so my assumption was that it had already been set up
+      (it was not). When connection to s3 failed I double checked lab 3 instructions

 ### Stretch
 - [ ] Create a bucket policy that blocks all public access but allows your IAM role
+- [ ] **Experiment** with requiring MFA or VPC conditions.
+  - [ ] MFA conditions
+    * MFA did not work out of the box after setting it in the s3 bucket policy. 
+      The ways I found you can configure MFA:
+      * [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34795780/how-to-use-mfa-with-aws-cli)
+        * via cli roles
+        * configuration via ~/.aws/credentials
+        * 1Password CLI with AWS Plugin
+          * I use bitwarden, which also has an AWS Plugin
+          * This is probably what I will gravitate towards for a more 
+            long-term setup, because having all of these credentials
+            floating around in various areas on my computer/virtualbox
+            envs gets confusing. Not a fan.
+          * I've seen a lot more recommendations (TBH it's more like 2 vs 0)
+            for 1password for password credential setup. Wonder why?
+        * other apps that handle this
+          * I did not look into this because I didn't want to install
+            yet another specialized CLI that I didn't understand
+  - [ ] VPC
+- [ ] **Host a static site**
+  - [ ] Enable a static website hosting (`index.html`)
+  - [ ] Configure route 53 alias or CNAME for `resume.<yourdomain>` to the bucket endpoint.
+  - [ ] Deploy CloudFront with ACM certificate for HTTPS
+  #### Private "Innvite-Only" Resume Hosting
+  1. **Pre-signed URLs**
+    `aws s3 presign s3://<YOUR_BUCKET_NAME>/resume.pdf --expires-in 3600`
+  2. **IAM-only access**
+    - [ ] Store under `private/`
+    - [ ] Write a bucket policy allowing only the role `EC2-S3-Access-Role-daphodell` to `GetObject`
+  3. **Restrict to IP address**
+    - [ ] copy pasta json into bucket policy
