udagram-cloudformation-iac

Project Description

The main objective of this project is to deploy a high-availability web application on the aws infrastructure. To achieve this objective, we use cloudformation to write scripts that configure and deploy the needed infrastructure as well as dependecies/packages needed to run the web application.

Project structure

The scripts in this codebase can be categorised into two categories:

• network layer: script to setup the networking layer of the application. This can be found in the file named udagram_infrastructure.yml. In addition, parameters used in the setup the network layer can be found in udagram_infrastructure-parameters.json. You can also find the visual representation of this architecture inside architecture-diagram folder

• application layer: scripts to setup the necessay ec2 instances, install application dependencies, autoscaling groups, loadbalancers and security groups. The file that contains the above script is named udagram_servers.yml and while the file that contains the parameters used is named udagram-servers-params.json.
