Architecture Highlights:

• Custom VPC with public/private subnets
• EC2 Auto Scaling behind Load Balancer
• Route 53 DNS
• IAM least-privilege roles
• GitHub Actions CI/CD
• OIDC-based authentication (no stored AWS keys)
• Remote Terraform state (S3 + DynamoDB locking)
• Monitoring and alerting

No manual console configuration — fully reproducible from code.

Security Approach

• Short-lived AWS credentials via OIDC federation
• IAM trust policies scoped to repo and branch
• No long-lived access keys

Identity-based access > static secrets.
