About This Architecture
Singapore Red Cross deploys a three-tier AWS architecture in ap-southeast-1 with Route 53 DNSSEC DNS, AWS WAF and Application Load Balancer protecting public ingress, and ECS Fargate clusters across two Availability Zones handling containerized workloads. Application tier connects to Multi-AZ Amazon RDS PostgreSQL with primary-standby replication for data resilience and automatic failover. AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudWatch, and VPC Flow Logs provide unified security monitoring and compliance visibility across the VPC (10.0.0.0/16), while AWS Backup maintains disaster recovery nodes and AWS CodePipeline orchestrates Infrastructure-as-Code deployments. This architecture demonstrates defense-in-depth security, high availability, and operational excellence for mission-critical humanitarian services.

The separation of public, application, data, and management subnets enforces least-privilege network segmentation aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework security pillar.
