Deploying a Web Application using AWS EC2 and Application Load Balancer – Hands-on Project

Cloud infrastructure allows us to build highly available and scalable applications. In this project, I implemented a simple cloud architecture using AWS EC2 instances and an Application Load Balancer to distribute traffic across multiple servers. The goal of this project was to understand how load balancing works in real-world cloud environments. Project Overview In this project, I created a simple web application and deployed it using AWS infrastructure. The application is served by multiple EC2 instances, and the traffic is distributed using an Application Load Balancer. This setup ensures that if one server fails, the application can still run smoothly through another server. Architecture The architecture of the project is simple but demonstrates a real-world cloud deployment model.
