This project focuses on achieving enhanced redundancy and reliability by deploying Amazon EC2 instances into multiple Availability Zones (AZs). The multi-AZ deployment strategy ensures that the application remains highly available even in the face of potential failures or disruptions in a specific Availability Zone.
-
Fault Tolerance: The project employs a multi-AZ deployment model, distributing EC2 instances across different Availability Zones. This helps mitigate the impact of failures in a single zone, providing fault tolerance and improving the overall resilience of the system.
-
High Availability: With instances running in multiple AZs, the application can maintain continuous operation even if one Availability Zone experiences issues. This design enhances the availability of the application and minimizes downtime.
Follow these steps to deploy the EC2 instance to multi-AZ :
-
Launch EC2 Instances:
- Manually launch Amazon EC2 instances in different Availability Zones within your desired region using the AWS Management Console.
-
Configure Instances:
- Configure the instances with the necessary settings, such as instance type, key pairs, security groups, and user data scripts.
-
Load Balancer Setup:
- Set up an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) or Application Load Balancer (ALB) to distribute traffic across the EC2 instances. Configure the load balancer to operate across multiple Availability Zones.
-
Database Configuration (Optional):
- If your application uses a database, consider deploying a multi-AZ database setup (e.g., Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployment) to enhance data availability and durability.
The architecture of this project involves strategically deploying Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones within a specified region, utilizing a load balancer for distributing incoming traffic. This diagram illustrates the high-level architecture:
