The CDN Content Distribution System is an advanced cloud computing project that combines Access control and Storage buckets, built with Terraform. The project follows a cloud-native architecture where resources are provisioned, scaled, and managed as code, making it reliable, cost-effective, and easy to reproduce. It showcases professional cloud engineering techniques while delivering a complete, demo-ready platform.
Managing this workload on traditional infrastructure is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. Without a cloud platform built on Storage buckets and Terraform, there is no automated, resilient, and pay-per-use way to run the service reliably for growing demand.
This project applies advanced cloud engineering practices through Access control, orchestrated with Terraform and Storage buckets. The system is designed for automation, observability, and cost control, with security and resilience built in. It delivers consistent, scalable results and can be extended to additional cloud services and regions.

Cloud-native system with Access control and Storage buckets
Automated provisioning and scaling on demand
Observability with metrics, logs, and alerts
Security controls, encryption, and access management
Reusable cloud modules for related features
Cost-aware, documented, maintainable cloud architecture
The system follows a cloud-native architecture: the compute layer runs Access control; the orchestration and logic layer uses Terraform and Storage buckets; and the data and storage layer persists state via Backup jobs. Shared IaC, security, and observability modules support all layers, keeping the platform automated, resilient, and easy to extend.
Set up cloud account, project, and infrastructure as code.
Provision core resources and networking for Access control.
Implement the workload logic using Terraform and Storage buckets.
Add the data and storage layer via Backup jobs.
Wire up automation, monitoring, and cost controls.
Test scaling, failures, and security, then refine.
Document the architecture, run a demo, and prepare the viva report.
Architect cloud-native, scalable systems
Apply Data encryption and Content delivery networks
Provision infrastructure with automation
Secure, monitor, and optimize cloud workloads
Present and defend a complete cloud project in viva
Add multi-cloud and hybrid deployment
