Key Components​

AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)​

AWS VPC service that enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you define. It provides a way to isolate your resources in a private network that you control, allowing you to launch resources securely in the cloud.

AWS Relational Database Service (RDS)​

AWS RDS is a managed database service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides scalability, high availability, durability, security, and cost-effectiveness, making it easier to manage your relational databases in the cloud while focusing on building and running your applications.

AWS Fargate​

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that provides a simple interface for launching and managing containers without having to manage any infrastructure. It offers automatic scaling, pay-as-you-go pricing, and integration with other AWS services, making it a cost-effective and easy-to-use option for running containers in the cloud. Fargate is also a serverless option, meaning that you only pay for the compute resources that you use, making it an ideal choice for organizations that want to focus on their applications rather than managing the infrastructure.

AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB)​

AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) is a managed load balancing service that distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses. It provides advanced routing capabilities, such as path-based and host-based routing, and can route HTTP/HTTPS traffic to your application. ALB is designed to be highly available and fault-tolerant, providing automatic failover and redundancy. It also provides built-in security features, such as SSL/TLS termination and encryption, to secure your application traffic. Additionally, ALB integrates with other AWS services, making it easier to manage and scale your application traffic in the cloud. Overall, AWS ALB is a powerful, fully managed load balancing service that simplifies traffic management, enhances security, and improves application availability.

AWS S3 and CloudFront​

AWS S3 is a highly scalable and durable object storage service that provides secure and easy-to-use storage for media assets such as images, videos, and audio files.

AWS CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that can be used in combination with S3 to distribute media assets globally. CloudFront caches the media assets at edge locations around the world, reducing latency and providing faster and more reliable access for users. This combination provides scalability, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and security for storing and distributing media assets in the cloud.
