Architecture of Serverless Image Handler

Keycloak on Amazon Web Services

A highly available architecture that spans two Availability Zones.
An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) configured with public and private subnets, according to Amazon best practices, to provide you with your own virtual network on Amazon Web Services.
In the public subnets, managed Network Address Translation (NAT) gateways to allow outbound internet access for resources in the private subnets.
In the private subnets:
- Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) tasks running with Amazon Fargate behind the Application Load Balancer.
- Amazon Aurora Serverless MySQL-Compatible database cluster or Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible cluster.
IAM role for the Amazon ECS service.
Secrets from Amazon Secrets Manager for Keycloak console login and database connection.
Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM), which uses your existing certificate for the custom domain name on the Application Load Balancer.
Amazon Route 53 alias record, which is required for the custom domain name.
