Overview

This document outlines the architecture and deployment strategy for an enterprise-grade application leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. The solution is designed to optimize performance, enhance security, and ensure scalability for the application. The architecture integrates various AWS services, including AWS Global Accelerator, Amazon CloudFront, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, AWS WAF, and AWS CloudWatch.

Problem Statement

A growing e-commerce platform has been experiencing significant challenges as it expands its customer base globally. The platform's existing infrastructure, hosted on a single on-premises server, is struggling to manage the increasing traffic, leading to frequent downtimes, slow page load times, and a poor user experience. The platform is also highly vulnerable to security threats, such as DDoS attacks and common web exploits, due to limited security measures. The company has identified several critical issues:

1.Performance Bottlenecks:

As user traffic increases, the platform's response times slow down significantly, especially for users located far from the server's physical location.

2.Scalability Issues:

The platform is unable to scale quickly in response to traffic spikes during peak shopping periods, resulting in server crashes and lost sales.

3.Security Vulnerabilities:

The platform has faced multiple security incidents, including attempted DDoS attacks and web application exploits, which the current infrastructure cannot adequately defend against.

4.Lack of Monitoring:

The company lacks real-time monitoring and logging capabilities, making it difficult to identify and resolve issues promptly.

Objective

To address these challenges, the company seeks a cloud-based solution that can provide:

1.Global Performance Optimization:

Ensuring fast and reliable access for users worldwide.

1.Global Performance Optimization:

Ensuring fast and reliable access for users worldwide.

2.Scalable Infrastructure:

Automatically scaling resources to handle traffic spikes without downtime.

3.Enhanced Security:

Implementing robust security measures to protect against cyber threats.

4.Comprehensive Monitoring

Real-time monitoring and logging for proactive issue resolution.

Solution Overview

The proposed architecture employs AWS's global infrastructure and services to address the client's requirements. The architecture is divided into multiple layers, including DNS resolution, global traffic management, content delivery, application hosting, database management, and security. This layered approach ensures that the application can efficiently handle traffic, deliver content quickly to end users, and maintain a high level of security and reliability.

Solution Benefits

1.High Availability:

By leveraging AWS's global infrastructure, the application achieves high availability, with failover mechanisms in place to minimize downtime.

2.Security:

The integration of AWS WAF and AWS Shield enhances the security of the application, protecting against both common and sophisticated threats. Optimized Performance: AWS Global Accelerator and CloudFront reduce latency and improve the user experience by delivering content from the nearest edge locations.

3.Scalability:

The architecture automatically scales resources based on traffic, ensuring the application can handle varying loads without performance degradation.

4.Operational Efficiency:

CloudWatch provides comprehensive monitoring and logging, enabling quick identification and resolution of issues.
