Build an Immutable EC2 Web Server with AWS CDK

Build and deploy a complete immutable EC2 web-server solution on AWS using TypeScript and Infrastructure as Code. Learners will create their own AWS account, write a small TypeScript CDK project, build a reusable Windows EC2 image with the application pre-installed, deploy the immutable instance, connect to it securely, and verify the deployed HTTPS website in a browser. The final application displays a BBTrain demo page confirming that the learner successfully deployed a website on an immutable EC2 server.
