Project Overview

From instance launch to verified deployment.

This project demonstrates the complete workflow of hosting a web application on Amazon EC2, including server access, Nginx installation, security configuration, automated deployment, and technical validation.

01

Cloud Compute

Launched an Amazon Linux 2023 EC2 instance using a free-tier eligible instance type and general-purpose storage.

02

Secure Networking

Restricted SSH access to the administrator IP and opened HTTP port 80 for public website traffic.

03

Automated Deployment

Used a reusable shell script to install Nginx, deploy the website, enable the service, and validate the response.

Request Flow

Simple architecture. Clear responsibilities.

User Browser Sends an HTTP request to the public EC2 address.
Internet Routes the request toward the public cloud resource.
Security Group Permits HTTP traffic on port 80 and restricted SSH.
Amazon EC2 Runs the Amazon Linux 2023 operating system.
Nginx Serves the static website content to the browser.
