Mission Logs AWS Deployment

Welcome to the Mission Logs AWS Deployment project! This guide will walk you through the process of deploying the Mission Logs application on AWS. The migration involves setting up infrastructure on Amazon Web Services, ensuring HTTPS security, and implementing Docker for application deployment.

1. Introduction

Product and Project Overview

The project aims to migrate the Mission Logs application from on-premise infrastructure to AWS. This migration enhances scalability, improves security against DDoS attacks, and provides efficient management for a growing user base.

This technical documentation provides an overview and guide to implementing the Amazon Web Service (AWS) Solution. The solution is contains two parts, part one being the base implementation (free) and part two being the slightly more advanced implementation (paid). This documentation assumes that you are familiar AWS and can navigate the AWS Console and has a general understanding of AWS and its services, as well as decent understanding of programming. This documentation also assumes that you have a decent understanding of the Linux Command Line and other tools such as SSH clients.

  2. Choose the custom SSL certificate from ACM.

Update Load Balancer for HTTPS

  1. Edit listener configuration.
  2. Add a new listener for HTTPS (Port 443).

Update Auto-scaling Group Launch Template for HTTPS

  1. Edit the Auto-scaling Group.
  2. Edit the launch template.
  3. Update the user data script for HTTPS settings.

4. VPC and EC2 Setup

Create a Public VPC and Subnets

  1. Create a VPC with a specified IPv4 CIDR.
  2. Create public subnets in different availability zones.

Create Internet Gateway

  1. Navigate to Internet Gateway.
  2. Create a new Internet Gateway.
  3. Attach the Internet Gateway to the VPC.

Edit the Route Table of the VPC

  1. Navigate to the VPC.
  2. Edit the main route table.
  3. Add a route for destination 0.0.0.0/0 to the Internet Gateway.

5. Docker Setup

Install Docker and Start the Application

  1. Connect to your EC2 instance.

Starting the Mission Logs Application in Docker

Use Docker commands to pull and run the Mission Logs image.

6. Auto-scaling and Load Balancing

Create a Launch Template and AMI

  1. Create an image from your EC2 instance.
  2. Create a launch template with user data for Docker commands.

Create the Auto-scaling Group

  1. Navigate to Auto Scaling Groups.
  2. Create an Auto-scaling Group with the launch template.
  3. Attach a load balancer.
  4. Configure health checks, logging, and scaling policies.

7. Cost Analysis

Perform a cost analysis to ensure resources align with your budget and AWS Free Tier limits.
