What you'll learn

Scaling policies and monitoring configurations play a critical role in how AWS compute environments behave under changing workload demand. Poorly tuned controls can lead to instability, excessive operational overhead, and inefficient resource usage. In this course, Tuning and Simplifying AWS Compute Control Planes, you'll gain the ability to evaluate and improve the operational behavior of AWS compute environments. First, you'll explore how to identify misaligned scaling signals and tune scaling policies for greater stability. Next, you'll discover how to simplify monitoring configurations by reducing redundant alarms and improving signal quality. Finally, you'll learn how to identify latent cost risks and apply targeted improvements to stabilize and optimize a compute environment. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to optimize compute control planes and improve the stability and efficiency of auto-scaling applications running on AWS.
