Abstract

This paper presents the process of designing and implementing the basic AWS cloud infrastructure for hosting web applications using Terraform IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tools. The focus is on setting up a highly available, scalable, and secure infrastructure. Best practices for VPC design, resource management, as well as the use of some essential AWS services, are also described.
