Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll create and deploy a basic e-commerce website on top of a Terraform and AWS-based cloud infrastructure. You’ll start by building your sample site, and then package it in a Docker image and manually push it to an ECR repository. Next, you’ll create an ECS cluster, launch configuration, ECS roles, permissions, and security Groups for ECS. Finally, you’ll set up task definitions to run your applications as tasks, load balancers to balance the workload from all the incoming requests from users, and configure routing to handle all traffic in and out of the network. When you’re finished, you’ll be confident building production-ready apps based on Docker and ECS.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
