Ecommerce Web App

This repository contains a simple ecommerce web application designed to showcase the advantages of Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) and Auto Scaling in creating a highly available and secured network environment.

Features

  • The web application demonstrates the key features of an ecommerce website, such as product browsing, cart management, and checkout.
  • It is designed to handle a large number of concurrent users and ensure high availability.
  • The deployment architecture includes the use of Elastic Load Balancer and Auto Scaling to achieve scalability and fault tolerance.

Prerequisites

Before deploying and running the ecommerce web app, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  1. AWS Account: Access to an AWS account to deploy the application.
  2. AWS CLI: The AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) installed and configured with the appropriate credentials.
  3. EC2 Instances: Existing EC2 instances with the necessary setup and configurations for the web application.
  4. Load Balancer: An Elastic Load Balancer configured to distribute traffic among the EC2 instances.
  5. Auto Scaling Group: An Auto Scaling group configured to automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances based on demand.

Deployment Steps

Follow these steps to deploy the ecommerce web app:

  1. Clone the Repository: git clone https://github.com/JJTechInc/ecommerce-web-app.git
  2. Configure EC2 Instances: Set up your EC2 instances with the necessary software and configurations for the web application.
  3. Configure Load Balancer: Create and configure an Elastic Load Balancer to distribute traffic among the EC2 instances.
  4. Configure Auto Scaling: Set up an Auto Scaling group to automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances based on demand.
  5. Deploy the Application: Copy the web application files to the appropriate location on the EC2 instances.
  6. Test the Application: Access the load balancer's DNS or IP to test the application and verify that the traffic is distributed among the instances.
  7. Monitor and Scale: Monitor the application's performance and scale the instances up or down as needed based on demand.
