Swinburne COS80001 Assignment 1B: Cloud Photo Album Website Deployment

This document details a student's project for COS80001 at Swinburne University of Technology, focusing on the creation and deployment of a photo album website on an AWS infrastructure. The assignment requires setting up a secure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with subnets, routing tables, and security groups to control access. It involves creating an EC2 instance to host an Apache web server with PHP, interacting with a MySQL database managed by Amazon RDS, and storing photos in an S3 bucket. The website's functionality includes searching for photos based on metadata stored in the database. The solution covers infrastructure deployment, functional requirements for the photo album website, and testing procedures. The submission includes screenshots of the AWS setup, database structure, and source code, demonstrating the student's ability to implement a cloud-based web application.
