This project showcases my use of Terraform to architect and provision a highly available and scalable infrastructure on AWS. The infrastructure includes a CodePipeline for CI/CD and an ECS cluster for deploying containerized applications, with a load balancer, CloudWatch, multiple availability zones, public and private subnets, NAT gateway, autoscaling group, and internet gateway. The CodePipeline automatically integrates and deploys code changes to the ECS cluster through CI/CD. The ECS infrastructure, as well as the rest of the infrastructure, is designed to scale based on demand and provide high availability and fault tolerance across multiple availability zones.
