AWS Integration Guide

This guide explains how to deploy and integrate TelcoAPI with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Architecture Overview

TelcoAPI can be deployed on AWS using the following services: - Amazon ECS/EKS for containerized deployment - Amazon RDS for database - Amazon ElastiCache for caching - Amazon API Gateway for API management - AWS Lambda for serverless functions

Deployment Options

Container-based Deployment (ECS/EKS)

# docker-compose.yml for local testing
version: '3.8'
services:
  telco-api:
    image: telco-api:latest
    environment:
      - AWS_REGION=us-east-1
      - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
      - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
// AWS SDK configuration
import { AWS } from '@aws-sdk/client-sdk';

AWS.config.update({
  region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  }
});

Serverless Deployment (Lambda)

// Lambda handler
export const handler = async (event: APIGatewayEvent): Promise<APIGatewayProxyResult> => {
  try {
    const telcoApi = new TelcoAPI({
      region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
      // Additional configuration
    });

    const result = await telcoApi.handleRequest(event);

    return {
      statusCode: 200,
      body: JSON.stringify(result)
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      statusCode: 500,
      body: JSON.stringify({ error: error.message })
    };
  }
};

Infrastructure as Code

CloudFormation Template

Resources:
  TelcoApiCluster:
    Type: AWS::ECS::Cluster
    Properties:
      ClusterName: telco-api-cluster

  TelcoApiTaskDefinition:
    Type: AWS::ECS::TaskDefinition
    Properties:
      Family: telco-api
      ContainerDefinitions:
        - Name: telco-api
          Image: !Sub ${AWS::AccountId}.dkr.ecr.${AWS::Region}.amazonaws.com/telco-api:latest
          Memory: 512

Security Configuration

IAM Roles and Policies

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "dynamodb:PutItem",
        "dynamodb:GetItem",
        "dynamodb:UpdateItem",
        "dynamodb:DeleteItem",
        "dynamodb:Query",
        "dynamodb:Scan"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:*:*:table/TelcoAPI*"
    }
  ]
}

VPC Configuration

const vpcConfig = {
  vpcId: 'vpc-xxxxxxxx',
  subnets: ['subnet-xxxxxxxx', 'subnet-yyyyyyyy'],
  securityGroups: ['sg-xxxxxxxx']
};

Monitoring and Logging

CloudWatch Integration

import { CloudWatch } from '@aws-sdk/client-cloudwatch';

const cloudwatch = new CloudWatch({
  region: process.env.AWS_REGION
});

// Send custom metric
await cloudwatch.putMetricData({
  Namespace: 'TelcoAPI',
  MetricData: [{
    MetricName: 'RequestLatency',
    Value: 100,
    Unit: 'Milliseconds',
    Dimensions: [{
      Name: 'ApiEndpoint',
      Value: '/v1/diameter/gx'
    }]
  }]
});

X-Ray Tracing

import { AWSXRay } from 'aws-xray-sdk';

// Enable X-Ray tracing
AWSXRay.captureHTTPsGlobal(require('http'));
AWSXRay.capturePromise();

// Trace a segment
AWSXRay.captureAsyncFunc('processRequest', async (subsegment) => {
  try {
    // Your code here
    subsegment.close();
  } catch (error) {
    subsegment.close(error);
  }
});

Scaling and High Availability

Auto Scaling Configuration

const autoScalingConfig = {
  minCapacity: 2,
  maxCapacity: 10,
  targetCpuUtilization: 70,
  targetMemoryUtilization: 80
};

Multi-Region Deployment

const regions = ['us-east-1', 'eu-west-1', 'ap-southeast-1'];

for (const region of regions) {
  const api = new TelcoAPI({
    region,
    highAvailability: true,
    failover: {
      enabled: true,
      priority: regions.indexOf(region)
    }
  });
}

Cost Optimization

  1. Use Spot Instances for non-critical workloads
  2. Implement Auto Scaling based on demand
  3. Use AWS Savings Plans for predictable workloads
  4. Monitor and optimize resource utilization

Best Practices

  1. Security
  2. Use AWS Secrets Manager for sensitive data
  3. Implement least privilege access
  4. Enable AWS WAF for API Gateway

  5. Performance

  6. Use ElastiCache for caching
  7. Implement request throttling
  8. Use CloudFront for content delivery

  9. Reliability

  10. Deploy across multiple AZs
  11. Implement circuit breakers
  12. Use health checks and auto-healing

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Connection Timeouts
  2. Check security group rules
  3. Verify VPC configuration
  4. Check network ACLs

  5. Permission Errors

  6. Verify IAM roles and policies
  7. Check resource-based policies
  8. Review service limits

Debugging Tools

// Enable debug logging
const debug = require('debug')('telco-api:aws');

debug('Initializing AWS services');
debug('Configuration:', JSON.stringify(config, null, 2));
