+# Terraform Module Example
+
+## AWS S3 Bucket
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the Artifact Builder Terraform module to
+build and deploy a simple static website to AWS S3.
+
+In this example, we have a simple static website composed of HTML files. We use
+the Artifact Builder module with `artifact_src_type` set to "directory" to
+package the entire website directory as the artifact. This artifact is then
+deployed to an AWS S3 bucket, which is configured to host a static website.
+
+This example is intended to show the flexibility of the Artifact Builder module
+in handling different artifact types, including whole directories. It also shows
+how to integrate the module with other Terraform resources to create a complete
+deployment workflow.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Terraform installed on your local machine
+- Docker installed on your local machine
+- AWS account with the necessary permissions to create Lambda functions and
+  IAM roles
+- AWS CLI installed and configured with your AWS account
