🐳 Containerized Web App on AWS

This project shows how to run a containerized web application using AWS services.
It uses ECS Fargate, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and Amazon EFS to deploy a scalable web app with persistent shared storage — all without managing servers.

---

📐 Architecture

• ECS Fargate → Runs containers without provisioning or managing servers.
• Application Load Balancer (ALB) → Routes HTTP traffic to ECS tasks.
• Elastic File System (EFS) → Provides shared, persistent storage across tasks.

---

✅ Why This Pattern?

Feature	Benefit
Serverless containers	No EC2 instances to manage or patch
Scalable	Automatically handles traffic with ALB + ECS
Persistent storage	EFS keeps files even if containers restart
Flexible	Great for CMS, web apps, or apps needing shared state

🌍 Real-World Use Cases

• Content management systems (CMS)
• Web apps with file uploads or shared assets
• Multi-container apps with persistent state
• Scalable frontend/backend services

---

📦 What’s Inside

• Terraform code for:
  • ECS cluster, task definition, and service
  • ALB configuration
  • EFS with access point mounted into containers
• Bootstrap container that seeds a default index.html into EFS
• Architecture diagram
• Deployment scripts
