Welcome to the Renan Wiki, This production grade platform demonstrates a dockerized, serverless MediaWiki deployment within the AWS ecosystem, specifically focusing on cloud infrastructure integration and automated security protocols for a networking concentration. The architecture utilizes AWS Fargate for serverless compute, a managed Amazon RDS instance with AES-256 and enforced SSL encryption, and Amazon S3 for durable media storage. Network identity and security are maintained at the edge via an AWS Certificate Manager SSL certificate, while the Application Load Balancer enforces canonical redirection to the renanwiki.org domain and mandates HTTPS for all traffic. The entire stack is isolated within a custom VPC to minimize the attack surface through private subnets and restrictive Security Groups. Browse around at your leisure or create your own page with whatever content you'd like to add. Just keep in mind that embedding files or images requires uploading them first and using the right syntax, and you'll want to enable page protection to preserve your work
Welcome to the Renan Wiki. This platform is a high availability, production grade demonstration of how we can transform traditional web applications into modern, cloud native architectures. At its heart, this project represents a deliberate move away from the old reliance on physical hardware toward a serverless, security first mindset. This transition is brought to life through Infrastructure as Code concepts, using AWS Fargate to take manual server patching off the table.

Welcome to the Renan Wiki. This platform is a high availability, production grade demonstration of how we can transform traditional web applications into modern, cloud native architectures. At its heart, this project represents a deliberate move away from the old reliance on physical hardware toward a serverless, security first mindset. This transition is brought to life through Infrastructure as Code concepts, using AWS Fargate to take manual server patching off the table. Beyond just being serverless, the platform is built with hardened security in mind. The entire stack is isolated within a custom Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and uses enterprise grade encryption to protect data at every stage, including AES 256 storage encryption on RDS and enforced SSL/TLS for anything moving across the network. To really get the most out of what I have built here, I encourage you to jump in and interact with the wiki's dynamic features.
