Two-Tier Architecture

šŸ“Œ Overview

This project demonstrates a Two-Tier architecture on AWS using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It follows a modular and security-enhanced approach to create a scalable, secure, and maintainable infrastructure.

āœ… Key Features

  • Modular Architecture – Reusable Terraform modules for better management
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Automate AWS resource provisioning
  • Security Best Practices – IAM roles, policies, and WAF integration
  • Scalability & High Availability – Auto Scaling, Load Balancing, and Route 53
  • Database Integration – Managed Amazon RDS deployment
  • SSL & CDN Optimization – Secure connections and content acceleration

šŸš€ Getting Started

1ļøāƒ£ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/NotHarshhaa/DevOps-Projects
cd DevOps-Projects/DevOps-Project-11/

2ļøāƒ£ Initialize and Apply Terraform

terraform init
terraform plan -var-file=variables.tfvars
terraform apply -var-file=variables.tfvars --auto-approve

3ļøāƒ£ Cleanup (Destroy Infrastructure)

terraform destroy -var-file=variables.tfvars --auto-approve

šŸ—ļø Project Architecture Highlights

šŸ”¹ Networking & Security

āœ… VPC & Subnets – Securely isolated environment for your application
āœ… IAM & Role-Based Access Control – Fine-grained security permissions
āœ… AWS WAF – Protect against common web threats

šŸ”¹ Compute & Scaling

āœ… Auto Scaling Group – Dynamic scaling based on demand
āœ… Application Load Balancer (ALB) – Efficient traffic distribution
āœ… EC2 Instances – Reliable computing power

šŸ”¹ Storage & Database

āœ… Amazon RDS – Managed database for scalability and reliability
āœ… S3 Buckets – Secure storage for application assets

šŸ”¹ Networking & Optimization
