AWS: Get Started with EC2 Load Balancer & Auto-Scaling Group

Learn to leverage AWS Load Balancer (LB) and Auto Scaling Groups (ASG) for robust and cost-effective application deployment. This course provides a practical introduction to these essential components of the Amazon EC2 service.

You'll discover how to achieve high availability and scalability without breaking the bank. We'll guide you through the implementation process, covering:

• Implementing a Load Balancer: Learn to distribute incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances, ensuring your application remains responsive even under heavy load.
• Creating an Auto Scaling Group: Automate the process of scaling your application based on demand.
• Testing Your Implementation: Validate your load balancer and auto-scaling group setup using a simple application.
• Scaling Strategies: Explore three distinct methods for scaling your Auto Scaling Groups:
  • Manual Scaling: Gain control over scaling events.
  • Scheduled Scaling Policies: Automate scaling based on pre-defined schedules.
  • Auto Scaling Policies: Implement dynamic scaling based on real-time metrics like CPU utilization.

Mastering AWS LB and ASG is crucial for building resilient and scalable applications on the Amazon Web Services platform. This course equips you with the skills to optimize your infrastructure for performance and cost efficiency.
