# Application and landing zone components

The sample web application deployment described in this section consists of the following:

1. Ubuntu server with NGINX web server hosted on an EC2 instance in a private subnet
2. Network load balancer is deployed in a protected subnet and exposes the web server to the Internet
3. AWS firewall is deployed in the public subnet and inspects all ingress and egress traffic. the firewall rules allow only web server related traffic to the Internet (80, 443) and allows ssh connections to the web server initiated internally within the VPC

The following diagram depicts the landing zone that is used in this sample deployment:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.qmcloud.io/examples/deploy-aws-firewall-and-networking-with-qmcloud/application-and-landing-zone-components.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
