The article highlights the implementation of an auto-scaling infrastructure using Terraform. The infrastructure is highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable, capable of adapting to changing traffic demands while ensuring cost efficiency, high availability, reliability, enhancing user experience, enabling future-proof scalability, and adhering to security-first design protocols.
The article focuses on the implementation of various infrastructure modules, including Root, VPC, Launch Template and Security Groups, Load Balancer and Auto Scaling Groups, and Monitoring and Alerts.
The article provides a detailed explanation of each module configuration, highlighting the features and strategies employed for each component.
The article further delves into troubleshooting and resolving the 502 Bad Gateway error, which presented a challenge due to the architecture's security-first design. The resolution involved implementing AWS Systems Manager for secure instance management, validating user data scripts, and testing configurations with spot instances before production deployment.
