The Journey to a Fully Automated Website Deployment A few weeks ago, I found myself needing to deploy a simple static website . Manually setting up an S3 bucket, configuring permissions, and linking it to a CloudFront distribution seemed like a tedious process. As someone who loves automation, I decided to leverage Terraform to simplify the entire process. Why Terraform? Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a game-changer. With Terraform, I could:  Avoid manual setup errors  Easily reproduce and  Automate security best practices Instead of clicking through AWS settings, I wrote a few Terraform scripts and deployed everything in minutes. Let me walk you through how I did it!  Architecture Overview The architecture consists of three main components: User:  The end user accesses the website via a CloudFront URL.  CloudFront Distribution:  Acts as a content delivery network (CDN) to distribute content efficiently, reduce latency, and enhance security.

Deploying a Scalable Monitoring Stack Lab on AWS using Terraform and Ansible Introduction Effective monitoring is a cornerstone of cloud infrastructure management, ensuring high availability and performance. This guide provides a professional walkthrough on deploying Prometheus , Grafana , and Node Exporter on AWS using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and Ansible for configuration management. This lab will create a prometheus server and a grafana server, It will install node exporter on both server. You should be able to see the metrics in grafana, we already install a node exporter dashboard for the user. The diagram below will give you an idea of what the architecture will look like If you want to replicate this lab, you can find the complete code repository here: GitHub - MireCloud Terraform Infra .  Infrastructure Setup with Terraform 1. Creating a Dedicated VPC To ensure isolation, we define a VPC named Monitoring with a CIDR block of 10.0.0.0/16 . reso...
