Cloud-Resume

A shorten version of my current resume into the cloud with AWS.

Services used

• Amazon Route 53
• S3
• Certificate Manager
• Cloudfront
• Lambda
• DynamoDB
• IAM
• Github Actions
• Terraform

Project Description

The purpose is this project to practice AWS by deploying a shorten version of my resume. This resume is a part of the Cloud Resume Challenge. I will be following this challenge to learn more about the cloud.

Part 1: Secure, static website with a custom domain

• Created a resume using HTML and CSS.
• Used a custom domain name using Amazon Route 53.
• Utilized S3 bucket to host the simplified resume.
• Setted up SSL/HTTPS with AWS Certificate Manager.
• Created a Cloudfront Distribution to make site secure.

Part 2: Counting visitors with DynamoDB & Lambda functions

• Created lambda function to get count of visitors viewing the resume site.
• Added DynamoDB table to save/update visitor count.
• Developed an API using Lambda services to facilitate communication between a web application and DynamoDB.

OPTIONAL Part 3: Integrating CI/CD pipeline for Frontend

• Created new IAM user for Github Actions
• Used Github Actions to create CI/CD pipeline.
• CI/CD pipeline syncs the S3 bucket and clears the CloudFront cache.

OPTIONAL Part 4: IaC using Terraform

Implementing terraform for my AWS lambda function:

• Created IAM user with appropriate permissions for Terraform
• Configured AWS credentials, initialized Terraform in project
• Attached Lambda function and any other policies it depends on to .tf files

Future Implementations

I hope to implement the following:

• Javascript (To count the number of visitors that have accessed this site).
• Adding a Database (Amazon's DynamoDB to save and update the visitor count).
• CI/CD pipeline
• Try implementing Terraform for my lambda function
• Now, try implementing Terraform for S3 bucket
