Static Website Deployment with Terraform, Docker & Cloud 🌍🚀💡

This project demonstrates the deployment of a static website using Terraform, Docker, and Cloud services. It serves as a learning resource for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and Cloud deployment strategies. 🌐📚✨

📌 Project Overview 🔍⚡📊

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform
• Containerized Deployment with Docker
• Cloud Hosting: Deploying a static website on AWS or Azure
• Automation: Managing cloud infrastructure programmatically
• Scalability: Learning how to scale static web hosting

🚀 Features 🎯📈💾

• Fully automated deployment using Terraform
• Containerized website using Docker
• Static website built with Next.js and TailwindCSS
• Hosted on AWS S3 + CloudFront or Azure Blob Storage + Azure CDN
• HTTPS support (if configured with CloudFront/Azure CDN)
• Version-controlled infrastructure

🛠️ Technologies Used 💻☁️🔧

• Next.js: React-based framework for static site generation
• TailwindCSS: Utility-first CSS framework for styling
• Terraform: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool
• Docker: Containerization for easy deployment
• AWS: S3 (for storage) and CloudFront (for CDN)
• Azure: Blob Storage (for storage) and Azure CDN (for CDN)
• GitHub Actions (Optional): CI/CD automation for infrastructure deployment

🏗️ Deployment Steps 🏁🔄📤

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/PrayagRaj22/Static-Website-Cloud.git
   cd Static-Website-Cloud

2. Initialize Terraform

   terraform init

3. Plan Deployment

   terraform plan

4. Apply Configuration

   terraform apply -auto-approve

5. Build & Deploy Next.js Website using Docker

   cd website
   docker build -t static-website .
   docker run -d -p 3000:3000 static-website

6. Access the Website
   • Get the website URL from Terraform output
   • Open in your browser 🎉🎊🌐

🧹 Cleanup 🗑️❌🔄

To destroy the infrastructure and remove resources:

terraform destroy -auto-approve

To stop and remove the Docker container:

docker stop static-website

📖 Learning Outcomes 🎓📘💡

• Understand how Terraform provisions Cloud infrastructure
• Learn how to deploy a Next.js + TailwindCSS static website on AWS or Azure
• Use Docker for containerized deployment
• Automate infrastructure management with IaC
• Implement best practices for infrastructure deployment
