AWS Infrastructure Deployment with Terraform

Project Overview

We have successfully completed the deployment of a comprehensive AWS infrastructure using Terraform for a company’s Django APIs and their corresponding frontends. The project incorporated various AWS services such as ECS, RDS, EC2, AWS OpenSearch,
ElastiCache, CloudFront, and WAF under a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with an Internet Gateway (IGW).

Requirements

Deploy three Django APIs and their frontends in CloudFront. Implement six pipelines, with one pipeline attached to the VPC. Ensure seamless integration with ECS, RDS, EC2, AWS OpenSearch, ElastiCache, CloudFront and WAF. Develop a new versioning system for Terraform modules to avoid downtime during updates.

Customer Challenge:

1. Coordinating multiple services and ensuring their seamless integration.
2. Implementing dynamic Terraform modules capable of being used in multiple projects.
3. Managing versioning for Terraform modules to reduce code size and complexity.
4. Retrieving resource ARNs/IDs efficiently across layers.

Enhancements in CloudFront Module for Multi-Region Support:

In order to facilitate multi-region functionality through the AWS provider, significant improvements have been made to the CloudFront module. Notably, the module has been enhanced to seamlessly retrieve certificates from the us-east-1 region, even when the default Terraform provider is situated in a different region.

Introduction of Global Module for Resource Retrieval:

A comprehensive global module has been introduced to streamline the retrieval of resource ARN/ID data from Terraform state files. This implementation ensures efficient data retrieval across various layers of the architecture, promoting a more organized and effective workflow.

Adoption of Layered Architecture:

To enhance organizational clarity, a structured layered architecture has been implemented. This architecture encompasses distinct layers such as VPC and networks, EC2/instances, RDS, Web application and pipelines, and other AWS services. To maintain separation and coherence, each layer is managed through separate Terraform state files.

Implementation of Terraform Module Versioning System:

A robust versioning system has been established for Terraform modules to facilitate updates without downtime. This involves tagging modules with specific versions and selectively applying them to services in need of updates. This systematic approach ensures a smooth and controlled evolution of Terraform modules.

Creation of Dynamic Terraform Modules:

A modularity has been achieved through the development of dynamic Terraform modules. These modules are designed to be both dynamic and reusable across multiple projects. Each module has its own version, effectively reducing code size and complexity.

Results and Benefits:

Development of Scalable and Reusable Terraform Modules:

Revolutionizing modularity, dynamic Terraform modules have been crafted to exhibit scalability and reusability across diverse projects. This initiative not only improves the readability of the codebase but also enhances its maintainability.

Advancements in Versioning for Enhanced Code Management:

A sophisticated versioning system has been seamlessly integrated, aimed at reducing both code size and complexity. This strategic implementation enables the successful update of modules without causing downtime for critical services.

Efficient Deployment of AWS Infrastructure:

This deployment is marked by the seamless integration of various services, demonstrating a high level of efficiency in resource and layer management. The result is a well-organized and robust infrastructure that meets the demands of the projects in a streamlined manner.
