AWS infrastructure as code for a containerized web service
a software company running a containerized web application · Infrastructure engineer (terraform)
The problem
A containerised application had to be deployed to AWS in a way that could be rebuilt from code, not set up by hand.
What I built
I wrote the whole setup as code: a private network, a load-balanced container service for the app, and a safe place to serve static files.
The result
A lost or broken environment is a rebuild from code, not a weekend of clicking.
