Auto Scaling Solutions Course
51 minutes
Course description
AWS has the capability to grow or shrink the number of servers. In this course, you will learn how to utilize auto-scaling, determine which instances to terminate, apply load balancing concepts and implement Elastic Load Balancing to enhance performance and fault tolerance.Syllabus
Elastic load balancing (ELB)
Video - 00:10:00
What can you use to implement multiple servers to enhance performance or fault tolerance? In AWS, you can use Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), which is introduced in this episode.
Load balancer concepts
Video - 00:08:00
Before you can consider the AWS features that assist in implementing load balancing, you must understand general load balancer concepts. This is particularly true for a design architect. In this episode, you will explore the load balancer concepts applicable to practically any solution.
Launch methods
Video - 00:04:00
Several launch methods are available for the use of auto scaling. This episode explores the various methods available to you so that you can select the right method for your design.
Auto-scaling configuration lab
Video - 00:13:00
Beyond understanding what auto-scaling does, it is essential to see how it is configured and managed so that you can design for it. This episode takes you into a configuration lab for auto-scaling so you can learn this important information.
Termination policies
Video - 00:07:00
How do you decide which instance should be stopped when scaling in or down? The answer in AWS is termination policies and they are covered here.
Auto-scaling groups
Video - 00:04:00
Auto-scaling works against collections of instances that can be scaled together. This episode explores the concept of auto-scaling groups and how they fit into any implementation or design.
Auto-scaling overview
Video - 00:06:00
When you want to dynamically grow or shrink a set of servers in AWS, you need to understand auto-scaling. This episode provides an introductory overview to the auto-scaling capabilities of AWS.
