- ▪️ Secured with AWS Certificate Manager for SSL/TLS encryption 🔒
- ▪️ Monitored with CloudWatch to stay on top of performance 📈
- ▪️ Customized with Route 53 for seamless domain management
- ▪️ Added AWS WAF to filter out sketchy traffic and ensure a secure environment 🔐
Implementing a solid security component was critical for me because security is the backbone of cloud engineering. This project gave me hands-on experience that I can build on for my path to becoming a Cloud Security Engineer. 💻🔐
