Re- Architecting and Integrating Java based Web-App on AWS Cloud Native

💻 Tech Stack

🔭 Objective

To increase scalability, availability, and cost-efficiency while leveraging the full set of AWS services, I am re-architecting web application from an on-premises infrastructure to a cloud-native architecture on AWS. I used memcached for caching, RDS instances for database management, Route53 for DNS management, and CloudFront for content delivery in addition to Amazon MQ for messaging and queuing. This re-architecture will help us with following benefits:

1. Increase the scalability of our application.
2. decrease downtime and improve reliability by utilizing AWS's built-in redundancy and failover features.
3. Cut costs by utilizing the pay-as-you-go pricing model of AWS services.

🎯 Steps for Implementation

1. Login to AWS Account
2. Create following services in AWS:
   • Key pair
   • Secuirty Group- For Backend Services
   • Amazon Elastic Cache- Memcached
   • Amazon Active MQ
3. Create Elastic Beanstalk Environemnt
4. Update Security group to allow traffic from Elastic Beanstalk Security Group
5. Update Security group to allow traffic from internal traffic
6. Launch Ec2 to intialize Database
7. Login to Ec2 and login to database
8. Initialize database
9. Change healthcheck on Elastic Beanstalk to our application /login
10. Add 445 https Listener to ELB
11. Build Artifact with Backend Information
12. Deploy Artifact to Beanstalk
13. Create CDN with ssl cert
14. Update entry in DNS
15. Test the url

Building Stage

Our application code is residing in Github repository. We will clone it, build it on our machine and deploy the artifect on elastic beanstalk.

Open your git bash

Use git clone in your current directory

Git clone https://github.com/devopshydclub/vprofile-project.git

Enter details of endpoints, username, & password

esc

:wq

cd ../../..
