Example output
Sure, let's start designing the infrastructure for the e-commerce platform on AWS. We'll use Terraform to provision the necessary resources.
### Phase 1: Networking and Load Balancing
```hcl
# main.tf
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1" # Change this to your desired region
}
# Create a VPC
resource "aws_vpc" "ecommerce_vpc" {
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
enable_dns_support = true
enable_dns_hostnames = true
tags = {
Name = "ecommerce-vpc"
}
}
# Create a public subnet
resource "aws_subnet" "public_subnet" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.ecommerce_vpc.id
cidr_block = "10.0.1.0/24"
availability_zone = "us-east-1a" # Change this to an available zone in your region
map_public_ip_on_launch = true
tags = {
Name = "public-subnet"
}
}
# Create an Application Load Balancer
resource "aws_lb" "ecommerce_lb" {
name = "ecommerce-lb"
internal = false
load_balancer_type = "application"
security_groups = [aws_security_group.lb_sg.id]
subnets = [aws_subnet.public_subnet.id]
}
# Create a security group for the load balancer
resource "aws_security_group" "lb_sg" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.ecommerce_vpc.id
// Define your security group rules as needed
}
# Output the DNS name of the Load Balancer
output "lb_dns_name" {
value = aws_lb.ecommerce_lb.dns_name
}
```
Run `terraform init` and `terraform apply` to create the networking and load balancing resources. After this step, prompt me with 'Continue' to proceed to the next phase.
### Phase 2: Database Setup (Amazon RDS)
```hcl
# database.tf
# Create an RDS instance for the database
resource "aws_db_instance" "ecommerce_db" {
identifier = "ecommerce-db"
allocated_storage = 20
storage_type = "gp2"
engine = "mysql"
engine_version = "5.7"
instance_class = "db.t2.micro"
name = "ecommerce_db"
username = "admin" # Change this to your preferred username
password = "password" # Change this to your preferred password
publicly_accessible = false
multi_az = true
vpc_security_group_ids = [aws_security_group.db_sg.id]
}
# Create a security group for the database
resource "aws_security_group" "db_sg" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.ecommerce_vpc.id
// Define your security group rules as needed for the database
}
# Output the endpoint of the RDS instance
output "db_endpoint" {
value = aws_db_instance.ecommerce_db.endpoint
}
```
Run `terraform apply` again to create the RDS instance for the database. After this step, prompt me with 'Continue' to proceed to the final phase.
### Phase 3: Auto Scaling Group for Application Servers
```hcl
# autoscaling.tf
# Create an IAM role for EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling Group
resource "aws_iam_role" "ec2_role" {
name = "ec2_role"
assume_role_policy = <<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Effect": "allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
}
}
]
}
EOF
}
# Attach an IAM policy to the role (you may need to customize this policy)
resource "aws_iam_instance_profile" "ec2_instance_profile" {
name = "ec2_instance_profile"
role = aws_iam_role.ec2_role.name
}
# Launch Configuration for the Auto Scaling Group
resource "aws_launch_configuration" "ecommerce_launch_config" {
name = "ecommerce-launch-config"
image_id = "ami-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" # Replace with a valid AMI for your application
instance_type = "t2.micro"
security_groups = [aws_security_group.app_sg.id]
key_name = "your-key-pair" # Replace with your key pair
iam_instance_profile = aws_iam_instance_profile.ec2_instance_profile.name
lifecycle {
create_before_destroy = true
}
}
# Auto Scaling Group
resource "aws_autoscaling_group" "ecommerce_autoscaling_group" {
desired_capacity = 2
max_size = 5
min_size = 2
vpc_zone_identifier = [aws_subnet.public_subnet.id]
launch_configuration = aws_launch_configuration.ecommerce_launch_config.id
health_check_type = "EC2"
health_check_grace_period = 300 # Adjust as needed
tag {
key = "Name"
value = "ecommerce-instance"
propagate_at_launch = true
}
}
# Output the Auto Scaling Group name
output "asg_name" {
value = aws_autoscaling_group.ecommerce_autoscaling_group.name
}
```
Run `terraform apply` once more to create the Auto Scaling Group for your application servers. This will launch EC2 instances that automatically adjust based on demand. After this step, you'll have a scalable and dynamic infrastructure for your e-commerce platform on AWS.
Remember to replace placeholder values in the code (such as AMI ID, key pair, etc.) with your actual configurations.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions or if there's anything else you'd like to add!
