AUTO SCALING AN APPLICATION WITH TERRAFORM ON AWS

Overview

This repository contains Terraform scripts to provision and manage infrastructure on AWS.

Description

The scripts in this repository automate the deployment of a scalable and highly available web application architecture on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The infrastructure includes:

• Network Setup: Creates a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnets in different availability zones, and associates them with a custom route table and an internet gateway for internet access.

• Security Configuration: Establishes security groups controlling inbound and outbound traffic to EC2 instances.

• Instance Configuration: Sets up launch configurations for EC2 instances running an Apache web server and generates an HTML page displaying instance metadata.

• Auto Scaling and Load Balancing: Implements an Auto Scaling Group (ASG) and an Application Load Balancer (ALB) for distributing traffic among instances.

Prerequisites

• Install Terraform on your local machine. (Terraform Installation Guide)
• Configure AWS credentials with appropriate permissions. (AWS Configuration Guide)
