INT 330 -- MANAGING CLOUD SOLUTIONS

Piyush Prakash 12307062 KM018 Roll no. 38


CA 2: PROJECT
1. Project Title
Designing a Scalable Library Management System using AWS

2. Scenario
An educational institution needs a robust Library Management
System (LMS) that allows students and instructors to interact in real-
time, access library resources, upload book requests, and monitor
borrow/return records. The system must be highly available, scalable
during peak times (e.g., semester starts), and secure.

3. Problem Statement
Design an AWS-based architecture to deploy a reliable, secure, and
cost-efficient LMS capable of handling variable traffic loads and
storing diverse content types (e.g., digital books, metadata, user
logs).

4. Objectives
 Enable scalability to support increased user access during
semester beginnings or return deadlines.
 Ensure high availability with minimal downtime.
 Secure access and data storage.
 Optimize performance and operational cost.
 Provide detailed system monitoring and logging.

5. Outcomes
 The LMS automatically adjusts resources based on traffic patterns.
 Minimal downtime with multi-AZ deployment through Elastic Beanstalk.
 Secure content access using IAM policies and VPC isolation.
 Optimized performance using monitoring from Amazon CloudWatch.
 Media and document storage efficiently managed through Amazon S3.

6. Proposed AWS Components


Amazon EC2 : Hosts custom backend microservices.
VPC Created
VPC Resource Map

VPC Details
Amazon S3 : Stores course materials, assignments, and media content.
AWS VPC : Isolates LMS resources for secure networking.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk : Deploys and manages LMS web application with
auto-scaling.
Amazon CloudWatch : Monitors logs, performance, and resource usage.
AWS IAM : Restricts access to AWS resources for users and roles.
7. Solution Design

Frontend Deployment
 The web interface is deployed using AWS Elastic Beanstalk,
providing managed scaling and health monitoring.
 Enables zero-downtime deployments and automated rollback if
issues occur.
Backend Services
 Hosted on Amazon EC2 instances managed inside a private
subnet via VPC, ensuring secure communication.
 API endpoints interact with metadata storage and business
logic for book issue/return, search queries, etc.
Storage Layer
 All library-related files (e-books, documents, scanned reports)
are uploaded to Amazon S3.
 IAM roles control who can access/upload/download based on
user type (librarian/student).
Monitoring & Logging
 Amazon CloudWatch tracks application logs, metrics (CPU,
memory), and custom alerts for downtime or performance
degradation.
 Helps identify slow queries or overloaded resources during
peak traffic times.
Security & Networking
 AWS VPC isolates application layers with public/private
subnets, routing only essential traffic externally.
 IAM policies restrict access for developers, librarians, and users.

8. Future Enhancements

Integrate Amazon RDS for structured user and book metadata.


Add AWS Lambda for event-driven automation (e.g., reminders for return
deadlines).
Use CloudFront for faster global access to digital content.
