I'm trying to set up infrastructure for a project, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the amount of setup required. Between managing IAM, VPCs, EC2 roles, DNS, SSL certificates, and configuring Cloudflare, it feels like I'm juggling a million things. I just want to deploy to AWS without spending my entire weekend troubleshooting configuration issues. Is there something out there that can make this process easier?

If you're using Cloudflare for DNS, SSL certs can be managed automatically, which is a big help. Also, consider using Cloudflare tunnels, so you don't have to set up public-facing load balancers on AWS. It's a more secure and scalable solution.
Are you using Terraform or CloudFormation at all? Those tools can really streamline your setup.
I've been integrating AWS services with Cloudflare too. Honestly, once you've got your Terraform setup right, it's pretty smooth sailing. What specific issues are you facing?
I haven’t started with them yet, but I’m willing to give it a go if it means less hassle!
