This AWS mini-project covers essential cloud services and tools for effective cloud infrastructure management and version control practices. Here’s a look at some of the key components:
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for stronger security.
- Creating IAM users and configuring custom permissions for better access control.
EC2 and Instance Management
- Launching and configuring EC2 instances with both Nginx and Apache servers.
- Adjusting security settings for inbound/outbound traffic and attaching storage volumes for enhanced flexibility.
S3 Buckets & Versioning
- Managing S3 buckets for file storage and enabling versioning to keep track of object changes and updates.
CloudWatch and Billing Alarms
- Setting up billing alarms and configuring cost management tools to monitor AWS usage and avoid unexpected costs.
Auto Scaling and Load Balancing
- Implementing Auto Scaling Groups (ASG) and Elastic Load Balancers (ELB) to optimize performance and ensure high availability of applications.
You Should Know: Practical AWS & Git Commands
AWS CLI Commands
1. Create an IAM User:
aws iam create-user --user-name DevOpsEngineer
2. Attach a Policy to IAM User:
aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name DevOpsEngineer --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2FullAccess
3. Launch an EC2 Instance:
aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-0abcdef1234567890 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name MyKeyPair --security-group-ids sg-903004f8
4. Enable S3 Versioning:
aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket my-bucket --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled
5. Set Up a Billing Alarm:
aws cloudwatch put-metric-alarm --alarm-name BillingAlarm --metric-name EstimatedCharges --namespace AWS/Billing --statistic Maximum --period 21600 --threshold 100 --comparison-operator GreaterThanThreshold --evaluation-periods 1 --alarm-actions arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:MyAlarmTopic
Git Version Control Commands
1. Initialize a Git Repository:
git init
2. Clone a Repository:
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
3. Commit Changes:
git add . git commit -m "Added AWS configurations"
4. Push to Remote Repository:
git push origin main
5. Create and Switch to a New Branch:
git checkout -b feature/aws-deployment
