Cloud Computing Mini-Project: CV Builder Website Deployment on AWS EC2 Instance

Project Overview

This mini-project is designed for the Cloud Computing subject, focusing on deploying a simple CV Builder website on an AWS EC2 instance. The goal is to gain hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and deployment processes.

Project Features

1. CV Builder Website: Create a basic CV Builder website where users can input their details and generate a formatted CV.
2. AWS EC2 Instance: Deploy the CV Builder on an AWS EC2 instance, utilizing the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing.
3. Hands-on Learning: Gain practical knowledge of setting up a web application in a cloud environment.

Adventure Plan

1. Set Up Your AWS Cloud Environment

• Log in to the AWS Console.
• Navigate to the EC2 service.
• Create a new EC2 instance for hosting your CV Builder website.
• Under EC2 > instances > Launch an instance
• Select OS as Amazon linux.
• Create Key pair for assesing VM.
• Select .ppk extension for puTTY and .pem for openSSH as you like.
• Configure the storage.
• Boom Launch the instance.

• You will see these screen after your instance is succesfully launched!

2. Connecting and Configuring EC2 instance

• Go to running instances Dashboard.

• I am connecting directly using console if you want to connect your instance you can connect it using puTTY or openSSH!

• Granting admin previlage using sudo command. Run the sudo su Command.

  Use the following command to switch to the root user and gain admin privileges:

  sudo su

  

• Update your Virtual Machine using following command:

  yum update

  

• After updating your system download git using following command:

  yum install git -y

• After that clone these repository using following command:

  git clone https://github.com/kffod/AWS-CLOUD-EC2.git

  After that copy index.html,script.js,style.css from |CV Builder Code| folder and paste it into |/var/www/html| folder as shown below:

  cd /AWS-CLOUD-EC2/CV Builder Code/
  mv * /var/www/html/

• After that install httpd using following command:

yum install httpd -y

• After installing httpd start httpd service using following command:

systemctl start httpd

You can check whethier httpd service running or not using following command:

systemctl status httpd

3. Accesing Your Website

• For accessing your cloud hosted website go to EC2 instance Dashboard and select your instance.

• After Selecting your instance go to your public IP address of EC2 instance In my case my public IP is 13.53.200.33* Open it in any browser , BOOM your website is deployed in cloud! :).

NOTE: Stop the instance after you deploy successfully; otherwise, after the free trial limit is exceeded, you will be charged!

Remember to enjoy the learning process and troubleshoot any challenges you encounter. Happy cloud adventures! 🚀✨!
