SECURE AWS INFRASTRUCTURE WITH DOCKER AND IAM ROLES

Abstract: The project, Secure AWS Infrastructure Using Docker and IAM Roles, focuses on implementing a secure and efficient infrastructure for deploying applications using services provided by Amazon Web Services. The application is deployed on a virtual server using Amazon EC2 and runs inside a containerized environment using Docker. Containerization ensures that the application and its dependencies are packaged together, enabling consistent execution and simplified deployment.

To enhance security, the project utilizes role-based access control through AWS Identity and Access Management. IAM roles allow the application running on the EC2 instance to securely access other AWS services without storing permanent credentials in the source code. This approach improves security by providing temporary and controlled permissions.

The system stores and retrieves application data using Amazon S3, which provides reliable and scalable storage. The application interacts with S3 using the AWS SDK, enabling secure communication between the application and storage service. Overall, the project demonstrates how containerization and role-based access control can be integrated to build a secure and manageable AWS infrastructure for modern application deployment.
