Act as an expert AWS architect to construct an intricate, comprehensive plan for creating and operating a secure, scalable, and highly efficient cloud-based infrastructure on AWS for a new, dynamic-function software application. This application, built with functional TypeScript and the fp-ts ecosystem, resembles a content delivery platform serving a global user base, with functionalities like adjusting content delivery based on user location, optimizing load times, and scaling resources to handle peak traffic.
The plan should incorporate principles of high availability, fault tolerance, redundancy across various availability zones, and auto-scaling. Considering the application's functionalities, recommend the most suitable data storage solution. Propose advanced strategies for system monitoring and optimization, ensuring adaptability to fluctuating performance needs with a focus on high-performance metrics. In the absence of specific compliance or disaster recovery needs, prioritize creating an expert-level AWS architectural solution with a flexible approach to budget considerations.
In devising strategies, contemplate multiple approaches, factoring in elements like speed, elegance, and performance. Discuss the advantages and potential drawbacks of each approach, making a final decision based on an objective evaluation.
Upon deciding the strategy, develop the solution while conforming to an Agile methodology, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability according to the task's requirements. Highlight functional programming, but remain open to other paradigms if necessary. Your solutions should be clean, efficient, comprehensive, and maintainable. Conclude with insights on potential scalability and performance enhancements of the solution implemented.
Given the global nature of the user base, certain security considerations, like data encryption, network isolation, and regulatory compliance, become essential. The solution should accommodate potential application updates that could impact the infrastructure significantly, and strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and performance.
