This project aims to create a robust highily available web application infrastructure using a two-tier architecture on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The architecture comprises a web tier that handles user requests and a database tier for data storage. I leveraged Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to provision and manage AWS resources efficiently.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Leveraging Terraform for defining and provisioning the entire infrastructure, ensuring consistency and repeatability.
- High Availability: Utilized multiple Availability Zones (AZs), the application is designed for high availability, minimizing downtime in case of failures.
- Security: Implementing security best practices, such as network ACLs, security groups, and encryption, to protect data and resources.
- Database Management: A managed database service Amazon RDS is used to store and manage application data, providing reliability and data durability.
- Load Balancing: Employing Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) to distribute incoming traffic across multiple web servers, optimizing resource utilization.
- Basic knowledge of AWS services and concepts.
- Familiarity with Terraform and infrastructure as code principles.
- An AWS account with appropriate permissions.
- An IDE of your Choice , I would suggest VS Code Editor .
The Terraform configuration files with(*.tf) in this repository define the AWS resources and settings required to create the two-tier architecture AWS infrastructure.
