By the end of the coursework you should have the CYF Hotel Frontend, Backend and Database deployed and working in AWS.

Deploy CYF Hotel Frontend to S3

Create an S3 Bucket: Create a new S3 bucket in your AWS console.
Configure S3 for Static Website: Enable static website hosting on the bucket and note the S3 endpoint.
Upload Files: Upload the frontend HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to the bucket. There are multiple ways to upload files to S3. Follow their documentation and choose the way that is best for you: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/upload-objects.html
Set Permissions: Make sure the bucket policy is set to allow public read access to your files.
Test Your Setup: Access the frontend using the S3 endpoint to ensure everything is working.

Deploy CYF Hotel Backend to EC2

Launch EC2 Instance: Start a new EC2 instance using a suitable AMI (Amazon Machine Image).
SSH into EC2: Use SSH to access your EC2 instance. Follow the guide from AWS on how to ssh from your machine https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-linux-inst-ssh.html
Set up Node.js: Install Node.js and any other dependencies.
Upload Code: Transfer your backend code to the EC2 instance. Refer to the SSH guide to transfer the code to EC2 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-linux-inst-ssh.html#linux-file-transfer-scp
Start Application: Run your Node.js application on the EC2 instance.
Test API: Test your API endpoints to make sure they’re working as expected.

Deploy CYF Hotel Database to RDS

Create RDS Instance: In the AWS Management Console, set up a new RDS instance.
Configure Security Groups: Update security groups to allow incoming traffic on the database port you intend to use.
Database Credentials: Make a note of your database credentials (username, password).
Initialize Database: Connect to the database and initialize it with the required tables and sample data.
Connect to Backend: Update your backend code (running on EC2) to connect to the RDS database.
Test End-to-End: Make some test API calls to ensure that the data flows correctly from the RDS database to your EC2 backend, and then to the S3-hosted frontend.
