# Two-Tier AWS Architecture
|
|
|
|
[**Example Source Code**](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/tree/master/examples/aws-two-tier)
|
|
|
|
This provides a template for running a simple two-tier architecture on Amazon
|
|
Web Services. The premise is that you have stateless app servers running behind
|
|
an ELB serving traffic.
|
|
|
|
To simplify the example, it intentionally ignores deploying and
|
|
getting your application onto the servers. However, you could do so either via
|
|
[provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html) and a configuration
|
|
management tool, or by pre-baking configured AMIs with
|
|
[Packer](https://www.packer.io).
|
|
|
|
After you run `terraform apply` on this configuration, it will
|
|
automatically output the DNS address of the ELB. After your instance
|
|
registers, this should respond with the default Nginx web page.
|
|
|
|
As with all the examples, just copy and paste the example and run
|
|
`terraform apply` to see it work.
