Project Objective:

To design a secure and scalable 2-tier AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture and deploy a healthcare website using NGINX on an Amazon EC2 Instance

Tools I Used & Architectural Overview:

• AWS VPC: 10.0.0.0/16 -Main Virtual Network
• Subnets: Public 10.0.1.0/24 (contain EC2 web server) / Private 10.0.2.0/24- Reserved for backend services
• Internet Gateway (IGW): Connect public subnets to the internet
• NAT Gateway
• Route Tables: Routes 0.0.0.0/0 traffic from public subnet to IGW
• EC2 Instances: Amazon Linux- Hosts Mediplus website
• Security Groups: Allows port 80 (HTTP) from all, Port 22 (SSH) from specific IP
• Network ACLs (NACLs): subnet-level access control rules
• NGINX & GitHub Repo: Source of website files(Mediplus repo)
• Draw.io architecture
