Zero-Trust Web Perimeter — AWS Architecture Template
Layered perimeter — WAF at CloudFront, Cognito authentication enforced at the ALB, encrypted data, and full audit trail.
Why this architecture works
- Every request is inspected (WAF), authenticated (Cognito at the ALB), and encrypted before touching compute
- Enforcing auth at the load balancer means unauthenticated traffic never reaches application code
- CloudFront hides origin IPs, and origin access restrictions reject traffic that bypasses the CDN
- Customer-managed KMS keys on the database make encryption provable and rotatable for auditors
- CloudTrail plus CloudWatch give a tamper-evident record of every control-plane action
