Deploy Web Tier

Introduction

In this section, we will deploy the Web Tier by uploading the source code of the application to Amazon S3 and deploying the application on Amazon EC2. In addition, we will use Nginx in this workshop. Nginx will act as a web server that we will configure to run the application on port 80, as well as help redirect API requests from the Web Tier to the App Tier through the Internal Load Balancer.
