Deploy Fider as a Private App on AWS with CloudFront VPC Origin
- AWS introduced CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Origins to enable delivery from applications in private VPC subnets without access to the internet.
- Deploying Fider as a private application enhances security by hiding backend services and using CloudFront as the sole entry point.
- Creating an Internal Application Load Balancer involves setting it up in private subnets and configuring security groups to only allow CloudFront's IP ranges.
- CloudFront VPC origin creation involves selecting an internal ALB's ARN with HTTPS protocol for optimized performance and improved security.
- Creating a CloudFront Distribution includes setting up origin shield, cache behavior, security headers, and enabling Web Application Firewall for added protection.
- Spinning up ECS and RDS infrastructure is essential for deploying applications securely within the AWS environment.
- Monitoring CloudFront and WAF logs is crucial for analyzing performance metrics, response times, and fine-tuning security rules to prevent attacks.
- Considerations like using VPC Endpoints for external OAuth providers, potential attack vectors with CloudFront and ALB, and mTLS support in Fider should be taken into account for enhanced security.
- AWS WAF now supports sending logs to CloudWatch logs, providing insights into rule evaluation outcomes and sampled requests for analysis.
- Enabling logging for AWS WAF helps in monitoring and analyzing rule performance and evaluating the level of protection based on specific needs.
- Implementing CloudFront VPC Origin and following recommended security practices ensure a secure deployment of Fider as a private application on AWS.
