Description

We created a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), subnet, and established connectivity. We deployed an EC2 instance with a Linux operating system and installed the necessary dependency packages, including Nginx, Rails, Ruby, Git, Puma, and PostgreSQL. We configured the web server, Nginx, on the same EC2 instance for their web application and set up the database, PostgreSQL, establishing connectivity between them. We conducted tests and handed over the servers to the client for testing. The VAMS team performed the application level setup.

To ensure security, we restricted access to the EC2 instance and allowed traffic only for individual IPs using security groups. We also restricted service-level access for users using IAM, including AWS-managed and custom policies, according to their roles. We enabled Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all IAM users to achieve account-level security and avoid misuse of individual users’ usernames and passwords.

After successful testing, the application went live. We configured an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) backup with a 7-day retention period and set up application and database backups on an S3 bucket for storing data. We also enabled CloudTrail for monitoring and auditing purposes and stored the CloudTrail logs on an S3 bucket. Additionally, we created budget alerts to monitor billing based on the total monthly consumption.

Overall, our solution provided a scalable, cost-effective, secure, and easily maintainable infrastructure with measured and reporting services.
