Net702 - Creating a Distributed, Highly Available Web System in the Cloud

DinoStore

Here I am creating a highly available web system called DinoStore, working in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Initially, I have created the web application (DinoStore) on my local computer with the help of Visual Studio and MySql database. Then I have transferred it to AWS and made it highly available. This exercise is part of my study program NET-702. Through this  exercise, I am mainly focusing on covering the main features of AWS and familiarizing cloud environment.   

Below are the links to the steps to the DinoStore creation.

Billing and usage details 

Currently, I have used 23$ from my 100$ credit by the end of the project, but AWS charges monthly for the services. I have checked the current status of the usage and found out that, I have consumed 44.77$. This is used by RDS, Elastic compute cloud and Rout 53 services. Among them, RDS costs are really high because my region is Sidney and its region charges are high.
