The problem
The client needed an AWS environment designed properly from the start rather than assembled piece by piece: compute, storage, a managed database and a private network, with sensible security boundaries between them.
What I did
- Designed the VPC network and security groups so each tier only accepts the traffic it needs.
- Provisioned EC2 instances for the application tier.
- Designed the S3 bucket layout with lifecycle policies to move or expire objects automatically and control storage cost.
- Set up RDS Aurora MySQL with read replicas to spread read traffic and improve resilience.
Result
A complete, documented AWS architecture covering compute, storage, database and networking, delivered with a 5-star review.
