    # Explanation of the Diagram Components:

    # POS Device:
    # - Represents the festival attendee's point-of-sale terminal.
    # - Capable of storing transactions offline and syncing when online.

    # AWS Route 53:
    # - Manages DNS records.
    # - Routes traffic to the API Gateway.

    # API Gateway:
    # - Entry point for all API calls from POS devices.
    # - Manages traffic, security, and endpoint access.

    # Application Load Balancer (ALB):
    # - Distributes incoming traffic to the microservices.
    # - Provides scalability and high availability.

    # Microservices:
    # - Auth Service: Handles user authentication.
    # - Transaction Service: Processes transactions.
    # - User Management Service: Manages user profiles.
    # - Transaction History Service: Provides transaction history to users.

    # Databases:
    # - DynamoDB with Global Tables for multi-region replication and high availability.
    # - Aurora RDS for relational database needs.

    # Amazon S3 Bucket:
    # - Stores backups and logs.
    # - Provides durable and scalable storage.

    # AWS CloudWatch:
    # - Monitors resources and applications.
    # - Collects logs and metrics.

    # IAM and Cognito:
    # - IAM manages roles and policies for access control.
    # - Cognito provides user authentication and authorization.

    # SQS Queue:
    # - Optional component for message queuing between POS devices and Transaction Service.
    # - Helps in decoupling services and managing load.

    # CodePipeline:
    # - Represents the CI/CD pipeline for automated deployments.
    # - Ensures consistent and reliable deployment of microservices.

    # Auto Scaling:
    # - Implies that services can scale automatically based on demand.
    # - Ensures that the system can handle varying loads during festival events.

    # Edge Styles and Colors:

    # - Solid Lines: Represent active connections and data flow.
    # - Dashed Lines: Indicate asynchronous processes or backups.
    # - Dotted Lines: Represent optional or conditional connections.
    # - Edge Labels: Provide context about the connection or data transfer.
    # - Blue Edges: Secure HTTPS communications.
    # - Dark Green Edges: Backup processes to S3.
    # - Red Edges: Alerts and notifications.

    # Additional Notes:

    # - The diagram clusters components to represent the network segmentation (Public and Private Subnets).
    # - The VPC ensures secure and isolated networking within the AWS Cloud.
    # - Security best practices are implied, such as using IAM roles and policies, and encrypting data in transit and at rest.
    # - The POS Device's ability to store transactions offline ensures that attendees can make purchases without internet dependency.
    # - The use of DynamoDB Global Tables and Aurora RDS with multi-region replication ensures high availability and data consistency.
    # - CloudWatch and IAM work together to monitor the system and alert administrators of any issues.
    # - The CI/CD pipeline automates the deployment process, reducing the risk of human error and downtime.
    # - Auto Scaling ensures that the infrastructure can handle peak loads during festival events and scale down when not needed.

    # How to Run the Code on osx:

    # 0. Create virtual environment:
    # python3 -m venv venv
    # source venv/bin/activate

    # 1. Install the Diagrams Library:
    #    - Run: pip install diagrams

    # 2. Install Graphviz:
    #    - For Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install graphviz
    #    - For macOS: brew install graphviz
    #    - For Windows: Download from the official Graphviz website.

    # 3. Save this code in a file named 'festival_pos_diagram.py'.

    # 4. Run the script:
    #    - Execute: python festival_pos_diagram.py

    # 5. The script will generate an image file named 'Festival POS System Architecture.png'.

    # Customization:

    # - You can modify the components or add new ones to reflect changes in your infrastructure.
    # - The diagrams library supports many AWS services and general components for customization.
