Description

Do you need to design and implement elastic applications on the AWS cloud? In this course, Implementing AWS EC2 Auto Scaling, you will learn foundational skills required to deploy Auto Scaling groups on Amazon EC2. First, you will explore the concept of elasticity on AWS and gain an understanding of the differences between vertical and horizontal scaling. Next, you will discover how to build launch configurations and templates used by EC2 instances when scaling out horizontally. Finally, you will learn how to implement Auto Scaling groups that scale dynamically, on a schedule or predictively based on patterns and forecasts. By the end of this course, you will have the necessary knowledge to efficiently utilize Amazon EC2 to implement and deploy Auto Scaling groups successfully.
