Part 3 of the series — After building and load balancing our AWS infrastructure, it’s time to monitor it like a pro. Introduction After setting up our scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform and integrating it with an Application Load Balancer (see Part 2), the next step is observability. In this blog, we’ll use AWS CloudWatch Alarms and […]

What I learned while building and debugging AWS infrastructure from scratch with Terraform Introduction Recently, I took on a hands-on challenge to simulate a real-world lift-and-shift cloud migration using AWS. My goal was to build modular infrastructure from scratch using Terraform. I wanted this to be more than a demo: a production-style, reusable foundation for deploying applications in

Add an Application Load Balancer to Your Scalable AWS Infrastructure In my [previous blog], we built a scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform modules to provision a VPC, EC2 Auto Scaling Group, and S3 bucket. Now, let’s take it a step further by introducing an Application Load Balancer (ALB) to route incoming traffic to our EC2

What is terraform? Terraform is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. This means you can describe your desired infrastructure in code, and Terraform will take care of creating and managing the resources for you. Why I’m Shifting to

In my previous post, I documented getting started with Terraform coming from an AWS CloudFormation background. As I continue my Terraform learning journey from a CloudFormation background, two concepts that took more effort to grasp are variables and modules. Both offer powerful capabilities for customization and reusability — let’s break it down! What are Variables? Terraform variables provide a way to make
