Implementation plan:
- Why architecture diagrams matter — communication, documentation, planning
- Common AWS diagram conventions and icons
- Drawing a typical web application architecture: ALB → EC2 (ASG) → RDS
- Traffic flow explanation: how a request travels through the architecture
- Cost tradeoffs: NAT Gateway cost, multi-AZ costs, data transfer
- Reliability tradeoffs: single AZ vs multi-AZ, health checks, failover
- Security tradeoffs: public vs private subnets, least-privilege security groups
- Milestone: draw an architecture diagram for a given scenario and explain the traffic flow
