Basic Two-Tier AWS Architecture

This provides a template for running a simple two-tier architecture on Amazon Web services.

The basic premise is you have stateless app servers running behind and ELB serving traffic. State for your application is stored in an RDS database.

This ignores deploying and getting data onto the application servers intentionally to simplify. However, you could do so either via provisioners or by pre-baking configured AMIs with Packer.
