This repository is dedicated to documenting my journey in the project, "Building a Scalable 2-Tier Architecture in AWS with Terraform".

About The Project

In this project i'm able to create a Scalable 2-tier architecture in AWS using Terraform. Additionally i have hosted a containerized python application using docker in EC2 instance & setup the Terraform remote backend using S3 & Dynamo DB.
