Automated Infrastructure Provisioning for a Web Application:
Description: Create a Terraform configuration to provision all the necessary infrastructure components on AWS for hosting a web application. This project will include setting up networking, compute resources, databases, and security groups.
Steps:
-
Networking Setup:
- Create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with public and private subnets.
- Configure route tables and internet gateways for public subnet access.
-
Compute Resources:
- Launch EC2 instances to host the web application.
- Use Auto Scaling Groups to ensure high availability and scalability.
- Utilize Elastic Load Balancing for distributing incoming traffic.
-
Database Configuration:
- Set up a managed database service like Amazon RDS for storing application data.
- Choose the appropriate database engine (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) based on your application's requirements.
-
Security and Access Control:
- Implement security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic to EC2 instances and databases.
