Retail operations team needed a more resilient internal monitoring platform

NovaRetail's internal monitoring application had become important to engineering and operations teams, but a single-server setup created availability risk as usage increased.

I designed a Terraform-managed AWS environment with a custom VPC, two public subnets across Availability Zones, an Application Load Balancer, Ubuntu EC2 instances, target group health checks, and an Auto Scaling Group to maintain healthy capacity.

The result is a documented infrastructure build that demonstrates load balancing, automated recovery, CloudWatch CPU monitoring, operational troubleshooting, and deployment evidence through screenshots.
