Overview

I designed a production‑grade multi‑region AWS architecture to demonstrate how cloud‑native platforms achieve high availability, safe deployments, and resilient disaster recovery using Kubernetes and DevOps best practices.

Key Highlights

• Automated CI/CD pipelines pushing images to Amazon ECR
• Canary deployments with automated rollback on EKS
• Multi‑region EKS (Active + Warm Standby)
• Route 53 failover for seamless regional recovery
• Aurora Global Database for fast failover and low‑latency reads
• S3 Cross‑Region Replication for durable storage
• CloudWatch + Prometheus for observability and rollback triggers

How It Works

Traffic flows through Route 53 → CloudFront → WAF → ALB → EKS.

• New releases roll out via canary pods in the primary region, while the DR region stays in sync.
• On failure, traffic automatically shifts, clusters scale up, and the database is promoted.

This design reflects how enterprises build resilient, cost‑optimised, and secure production systems.
