Course of AWS: Scaling apps - Load Balancers and Auto Scaling Groups

💸 First lesson available without registration! 💸

Now you know how to deploy on AWS EC2 thanks to the introductory course, now we are going to manage our server's load automatically.

In this course, we will mix theoretical concepts necessary to understand what terms like "load balancing" or "scaling servers" mean, with practical AWS tools that solve these problems.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Create your own load balancer to distribute user requests across several servers.
• Configure the load balancer so that a single balancer sends traffic to different applications.
• Prepare effective health checks so that users see the least number of errors possible.
• Differentiate between the security group rules needed on an EC2 server and on a balancer.
• Deploy auto scaling groups that add or remove instances to/from the server cluster automatically.
• We recommend taking advantage of your subscription to take the Docker course: From 0 to deployment where you'll learn how to deploy your containers on your shiny EC2 machines that you will have prepared.
