AWS Enterprise Production Architecture โ€“ End-to-End DevOps Project

๐Ÿš€ AWS Enterprise Production Architecture โ€“ 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.

๐ŸŒ Architecture Overview

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

๐Ÿงฉ Architecture Diagram

๐Ÿ‘‰ GitHub Repo:
https://github.com/IrfanPasha05/aws-enterprise-web-architecture

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Services Used
Layer AWS Service
Compute EC2
Networking VPC + Subnets
Load Balancing Application Load Balancer
Scaling Auto Scaling Group
Monitoring CloudWatch
Auditing CloudTrail
โš™๏ธ Step 1 โ€” Custom VPC Setup

Created custom VPC:

CIDR: 10.0.0.0/16

Subnets:

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

Attached:

Internet Gateway

Public Route Table

๐Ÿ’ป Step 2 โ€” 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.

โš–๏ธ Step 3 โ€” Application Load Balancer

Created:

Target Group

Registered EC2 instances

Listener โ†’ HTTP : 80

Result โ†’ Load balanced traffic across servers.

๐Ÿ” Step 4 โ€” Auto Scaling Group (Self Healing)

Configured Auto Scaling:

Min = 1
Desired = 2
Max = 3

Tested by terminating instances manually.

AWS automatically launched new server ๐Ÿคฏ

Self-healing infrastructure achieved.

๐Ÿ“Š Step 5 โ€” CloudWatch Monitoring

Created alarms on:

CPU Utilization < 49%

Auto Scaling reacts to traffic automatically.

๐Ÿ” Step 6 โ€” CloudTrail Auditing

Enabled CloudTrail to track:

Instance termination

API calls

Security events

Verified logs after terminating servers โœ”

๐Ÿงช Real Test Performed

I manually terminated all EC2 instances.

Result:

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

๐ŸŽ‰ Production architecture working perfectly.

โค๏ธ 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

๐Ÿš€ Final Thoughts

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

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