Room for improovement

This a simplistic design and is not fault tolerant. If this were to be made more complex, the following changes could be made:

• Add an auto scaling group for the EC2 instances
• Add a load balancer for the auto scaling group
• Add additional EFS mount points
• Add additional subnets and design the networking module to be more flexible
