- Elastic Beanstalk: Load Balancer + Orchestrator
- EC2(Elastic Container): Linux Container
- RDS: Relational Database(Postgres, MySQL...)
- ElastiCache: Cache Database(Redis...)
- VPC: regional cloud group with subnet(datacenter model)
- S3: file clouds
- IAM: Identity + Authorization manager
VPC(Regional) → Elastic Beanstalk → Security Groups(Inbound/Outbound proxy /w authentication) → EC2 + RDS/ElastiCache
- IAM is used for pushing to Elastic Beanstalk/EC2
