A step-by-step guide for AWS EC2 provisioning using Terraform: HA, ALB, VPC, and Route53 — Part 1
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for provisioning AWS EC2 instances using Terraform, focusing on high availability, load balancing, and secure networking. By leveraging Terraform, users can automate the setup of an AWS environment that includes a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with multiple subnets, an Application Load Balancer (ALB) for distributing traffic, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) for enhanced security, Route 53 Custom Domain name for DNS management and ACM for SSL Certificate for your EC2 instance. The configuration ensures that the infrastructure is scalable, resilient, and secure, adhering to best practices for cloud deployments.
