Unlock the Power of Cloud Scalability and Reliability with AWS!

Are you ready to dive into the world of cloud computing? AWS (Amazon Web Services) offers a suite of services that can help your applications scale seamlessly, handle heavy traffic without downtime, and manage costs effectively. In this comprehensive beginner's course, AWS: Get Started with EC2 Load Balancer & Auto-Scaling Group, you'll learn how to leverage two of the most critical components in AWS's EC2 service - Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Auto Scaling.

Why Take This Course? 🌟

• High Availability: Ensure your applications remain available at all times by intelligently distributing incoming application traffic across multiple targets.
• Scalability: Automatically adjust your application's capacity to maintain performance by scaling up or down as needed.
• Cost Efficiency: Pay only for the resources you use, avoiding over-provisioning and reducing costs.

Course Overview:

📘 Understanding EC2, LB, and ASG

• Introduction to AWS EC2: Learn the basics of Amazon EC2 and its importance in cloud computing.
• Exploring Load Balancer (LB): Discover how a load balancer can improve the reliability of your applications by providing a single point of contact for clients and distributing incoming traffic across multiple targets.
• Discovering Auto Scaling Group (ASG): Understand how an ASG helps you maintain application performance and achieve cost savings by automatically adjusting the number of EC2 instances in response to varying levels of demand.

🔍 Hands-On Learning:

• Implement a Load Balancer: Step-by-step guidance on setting up your first load balancer for an EC2 instance, including configuration and testing.
• Implement an Auto Scaling Group: Learn how to create an auto-scaling group that responds to traffic demands and ensures optimal performance of your application.
• Testing Your Setup: Apply what you've learned by deploying a simple application and testing its resilience and scalability using the LB and ASG setups.

⚙️ Scaling Strategies:

• Manual Scaling: Learn how to manually adjust the number of instances in your ASG under different scenarios.
• Scheduled Policies: Discover how to automate scaling based on a predefined schedule using AWS Scheduled Events.
• Auto-Scaling Policies: Explore how to use Amazon CloudWatch metrics and target tracking to automatically adjust the size of your ASG based on demand.

By the End of This Course, You Will Be Able To:

• Confidently design and implement a high availability architecture using AWS EC2 Load Balancer.
• Create an Auto Scaling Group that responds appropriately to varying load.
• Test your setup with a live application to see the load balancing and auto-scaling in action.
• Understand how to scale your application manually, according to a schedule, or automatically based on performance metrics.
