πŸ”…The architecture includes-

- Webserver configured on EC2 Instance

- Document Root(/var/www/html) made persistent by mounting on EBS Block Device.

- Static objects used in code such as pictures stored in S3

- Setting up Content Delivery Network using CloudFront and using the origin domain as S3 bucket.

- Finally place the Cloud Front URL on the webapp code for security and low latency.

STEP:1:Launch an instance and connect a EBS volume

STEP:2:Install Apache webserver on instance

#open root account : sudo su -root

#yum install httpd

#start the service : systemctl start httpd

#check the status of service : systemctl status httpd

STEP:3:Create a partition in attached EBS volume

STEP:3.1:create partition

fdisk <disk name>

here, fdisk /dev/sdg

STEP:3.2:format the partition

mkfs.ext4 <partition name>

mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdg5

STEP:3.3:mount the partition

mount <partition name> <folder name>

here, mount /dev/xvdg5 /var/www/html/

STEP:4:Create a S3 bucket

STEP:4.1:creating s3 bucket using cli

aws s3api create-bucket β€” acl public-read-write β€” bucket <bucketname> β€” region <region> β€” create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=<region>

STEP:4.2:Upload image to s3 bucket

1.cd /<folder name>

2.aws s3 cp <file name> s3://<bucketname>

3.aws s3api put-object-acl β€” bucket <bucket name> β€” key <file name> β€” acl public-read [to make it public]

STEP:5:Create Cloud Front Distribution

aws cloudfront create-distribution β€” origin-domain-name <bucket_name>.s3.amazonaws.com

STEP:6:Create html file and add object file to it

STEP:6.1:create html file

1.cd /var/www/html

2.vi <file name>

STEP:6.2:add object file
