Note: This is an AI-generated project template created as part of my DevOps learning journey. Active development will begin as I progress through my AWS and Terraform certifications.
This project implements a comprehensive AWS infrastructure designed specifically for financial services applications, with a strong focus on security, compliance, and automation. Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, it creates a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environment that meets financial industry regulations including PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR.
Note: This project is currently in the planning stage. Documentation and implementation will evolve as development progresses.
- Multi-account AWS architecture with security isolation
- Defense-in-depth networking design with public, private, and restricted subnets
- Automated compliance checks and security scanning
- Comprehensive audit logging and monitoring
- Disaster recovery with cross-region replication
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform with modular design
- CI/CD pipeline for infrastructure validation and deployment
- AWS (VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, CloudTrail, Security Hub)
- Terraform
- AWS Config for compliance
- CloudWatch for monitoring
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
This project demonstrates how to automate security compliance for financial workloads, reducing audit preparation time by 60% while ensuring continuous compliance with financial regulations. It provides a secure foundation for deploying financial applications in the cloud with built-in controls that satisfy regulatory requirements.

Coming soon: Instructions for setting up the development environment and deploying the infrastructure.
This infrastructure is designed to meet the following compliance frameworks:
- PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
- SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls)
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
This project is a demonstration and educational resource. While it aims to implement security best practices, it should be thoroughly reviewed and customized before use in production environments. The author and contributors are not responsible for any security vulnerabilities or compliance issues that may arise from using this code in production.
