AWS Enterprise Production Architecture – End-to-End DevOps Project

πŸš€ AWS Enterprise Production Architecture – Real DevOps Project

Today I built a real production-style AWS architecture from scratch and pushed the complete project to GitHub.

This project demonstrates how real companies host scalable, highly available applications on AWS.

🌍 Architecture Overview

βœ” Highly Available
βœ” Auto Scaling
βœ” Self Healing Infrastructure
βœ” Monitoring + Auditing
βœ” Production Ready Design

🧩 Architecture Diagram

πŸ‘‰ GitHub Repo:

πŸ—οΈ Services Used
Layer AWS Service
Compute EC2
Networking VPC + Subnets
Load Balancing Application Load Balancer
Scaling Auto Scaling Group
Monitoring CloudWatch
Auditing CloudTrail
βš™οΈ Step 1 β€” Custom VPC Setup

Created custom VPC:

CIDR: 10.0.0.0/16

Subnets:

Public Subnet 1 β†’ 10.0.1.0/24
Public Subnet 2 β†’ 10.0.3.0/24
Private Subnet β†’ 10.0.2.0/24

Attached:

Internet Gateway

Public Route Table

πŸ’» Step 2 β€” Launch EC2 Web Server

Installed Apache:

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install httpd -y
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
echo "

My AWS Production Server

" | sudo tee /var/www/html/index.html

Created Golden AMI from this server.

βš–οΈ Step 3 β€” Application Load Balancer

Created:

Target Group

Registered EC2 instances

Listener β†’ HTTP : 80

Result β†’ Load balanced traffic across servers.

πŸ” Step 4 β€” Auto Scaling Group (Self Healing)

Configured Auto Scaling:

Min = 1
Desired = 2
Max = 3

Tested by terminating instances manually.

AWS automatically launched new server 🀯

Self-healing infrastructure achieved.

πŸ“Š Step 5 β€” CloudWatch Monitoring

Created alarms on:

CPU Utilization < 49%

Auto Scaling reacts to traffic automatically.

πŸ” Step 6 β€” CloudTrail Auditing

Enabled CloudTrail to track:

Instance termination

API calls

Security events

Verified logs after terminating servers βœ”

πŸ§ͺ Real Test Performed

I manually terminated all EC2 instances.

Result:

Auto Scaling β†’ Launched new server automatically
CloudTrail β†’ Logged termination event
CloudWatch β†’ Triggered alarm

πŸŽ‰ Production architecture working perfectly.

❀️ What I Learned

This project helped me understand:

Real world AWS architecture

High availability design

Auto healing systems

Monitoring & auditing in cloud

DevOps workflow with Git

πŸš€ Final Thoughts

This is a beginner-friendly enterprise architecture project that every aspiring DevOps / Cloud Engineer should build.

If you're learning AWS β€” try building this yourself!
