My AWS Cloud Journey

Introduction Hey everyone! 👋 I recently worked on a project where I automated disaster recovery (DR) on AWS using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines . Initially, I had no idea how to set up a proper DR solution, but after diving deep into AWS services and Terraform, I was able to create a fully automated system that recovers from failures without manual intervention . I thought it would be a great idea to document the entire process in this blog so that others (especially students like me) can learn how to build a similar system. If you're new to Terraform, AWS, or CI/CD, don't worry—I’ll explain everything in simple terms . 📌 What will you learn? How to automate disaster recovery on AWS Setting up EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch , and more Using Terraform to manage infrastructure as code Implementing CI/CD pipelines for automatic deployment How to test the DR system and make sure it actually works 🔗 GitHub Repository : Disaster Recovery CI/CD Why Do We Need Disaster...

 Project Objective The objective of this project is to set up a fully automated development environment on AWS, accessible directly from VS Code. By using Terraform, I configured AWS infrastructure components such as a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnets, security groups, and an EC2 instance. Additionally, I set up VS Code to automatically retrieve the instance IP and configure SSH access dynamically, allowing us to seamlessly manage the environment within the IDE. This blog documents the project, following the same steps demonstrated in this YouTube tutorial for an in-depth reference.
