About This Architecture
Multi-availability zone ECS Fargate architecture spanning eu-west-2 with dual routable and non-routable subnets, integrating AI microservices, vector databases, and Kafka event streaming. Traffic flows through Route 53, API Gateway, and AWS WAF to internal ALB, then to ECS tasks across AZ1 and AZ2 with Istio service mesh orchestration. The design implements least-privilege network segmentation using routable CIDR 10.59.0.0/24 and non-routable CIDR 100.100.0.0/16, with egress firewall controls and Direct Connect hybrid connectivity to NatWest DC. This architecture demonstrates enterprise-grade isolation, observability via CloudWatch and CloudTrail, and secure secret management through SSM Parameter Store and Secrets Manager.
