Completed a High-Availability Multi-Region Failover Architecture on AWS ๐


Iโm excited to share that Iโve successfully designed and deployed a scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant cloud architecture across two AWS regions, demonstrating my expertise in architecting resilient solutions for complex, enterprise-level systems. ๐๐ป
Project Overview:
โ
VPC and Subnet Design: Created isolated, secure VPCs and subnets across two AWS regions for high availability. ๐๐
โ
EC2 Deployment: Launched EC2 instances in public subnets with Auto Scaling configured in one region for system resilience. โก๐ฅ๏ธ
โ
ALB Setup: Configured ALBs in both regions for traffic distribution, enhancing performance and reducing latencies. ๐๐
โ
Route 53 Failover Routing: Implemented Route 53 for DNS failover routing, ensuring seamless traffic redirection to the secondary region in case of failure. ๐๐
โ
SSL/TLS Security with ACM: Secured communication using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) for managing SSL/TLS certificates, ensuring encrypted data transfer and compliance. ๐๐ก
โ
Health Checks & Auto Recovery: Integrated ALB health checks to reroute traffic in case of instance failures, with Auto Scaling for recovery. ๐ ๏ธโ๏ธ

Key Tools & Services:
๐ AWS Cloud Services: Utilized EC2, VPC, Subnets, Application Load Balancer (ALB), S3, Route 53, Auto Scaling, Security Groups, and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).
๐ Bash Scripting: Automated server setup and configurations to streamline deployment.
๐ Apache Web Server: Deployed to host and manage web applications effectively.
Advanced Cloud Solutions:
โ
Cross-Region Data Replication: Configured real-time cross-region replication to ensure data consistency across regions. ๐๐พ
โ
Cost Optimization: Leveraged AWS tools for performance monitoring and cost-efficient auto-scaling operations. ๐ฐ๐
โ
Disaster Recovery Strategy: Built an automated disaster recovery strategy for business continuity during region outages. ๐ช๏ธโก
๐ก Key Learnings & Takeaways:
โ
Mastered the integration of AWS Auto Scaling, Route 53, ALB, and EC2 for maximum availability. ๐๐
โ
Gained deep expertise in designing highly available and fault-tolerant architectures that scale with business needs. ๐ก๐ง
โ
Enhanced my understanding of cloud security, global traffic management, and real-time failover strategies. ๐๐ผ
This project has refined my skills in cloud architecture, disaster recovery, and multi-region high-availability solutions. Excited to continue expanding my AWS capabilities!
