An Introduction to Auto Scaling6:34
In this lecture, we will go through the basics of Auto Scaling and its benefits.
Auto Scaling Components and Pricing6:18
In this lecture, we will discuss the following:
All three components of Auto Scaling: Groups, Configuration Templates and Scaling Options
Launch Configurations vs. Launch Templates
Pricing
Creating a Security Group and a Key Pair for our Launch Template6:26
This is purely a demonstration where we will go through the step-by-step process of manufacturing a launch template from scratch, and the same will be used to create an Auto Scaling group in the later stage. To start with, we will create a security group and a key pair.

A Windows, Linux or Mac PC/Laptop
Knowledge of at least 1 programming language (Php, Python, Ruby etc) is advantageous but not strictly required

Description

This skill path covers all the objectives needed to develop application with Amazon Web Services. You will learn how to develop, deploy and debug cloud-based applications using AWS. Although this path will prepare you to take the AWS Developer Associate Certification exam, it also teaches you practical, hands-on skills for successfully developing with AWS. By the end of this path, you will have mastery and experience with all of the major services in AWS.

This course is for intermediate-level students and begins with an overview of the fundamentals of Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It then moves you through an in-depth curriculum on developing, deploying, and maintaining applications—especially Serverless ones—on AWS.

Why should you go for AWS developer certification? - Recent research shows that almost 83% of enterprise workloads would be transferred to the cloud. This means there will be ample opportunities for AWS Developer Associate certification holders.The average salary of AWS certified associates is almost USD 113,932.

Please note, this course does not teach you how to code. All required code in this course is provided when you join the course.

Who this course is for:

AWS absolute beginners. No prior AWS experience necessary
Existing developers, solutions architects and system administrators
Students interested in hosting highly scalable, fault tolerant and resilient applications on the AWS cloud
