Netflix for Anime

Motivation

This post is about creating an application similar to Netflix but for Anime only on both AWS and Azure separately. We will be using most of the services and integrate them together to create two separate applications working on their own cloud platform. Our application will be globally accessible and easy to use fast load time with static content delivered by CDN of AWS and Azure. Our application will be deployed in three parts of the world America, Europe, and Asia with restrictive development VM's and an expected billing report.

I also have a Dockerfile for convienence

docker run -exec -it -p 80:80 -p 5000:5000 -p 3000:3000 --name webserver <image-here>

Crontab reboot script

#!/bin/bash
sudo docker stop webserver
sudo docker rm webserver
sudo docker run -exec -it -p 80:80 -p 5000:5000 -p 3000:3000 --name webserver <image-name>

(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "@reboot <location-of-your-above-script>") | crontab -
