AWS EC2 Operations: Auto Scaling, ALB & Troubleshooting Pro

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Mastering AWS compute operations is essential for running reliable, scalable, and cost-effective cloud workloads. This comprehensive training gives you hands-on experience in selecting instance types, configuring Elastic Load Balancing, managing Auto Scaling groups, and applying AWS architectural best practices.

Who this course is for:

• Cloud Engineers looking to deepen their operational AWS skills

• DevOps Practitioners managing EC2 infrastructure at scale

• AWS Solutions Architects designing compute-heavy architectures

• System Administrators transitioning from on-premises servers to AWS

What you will learn:

• Analyze workload demands to choose optimal EC2 instance types

• Implement cost-saving strategies using Spot Instances and Savings Plans

• Configure Application Load Balancers for high availability

• Set up dynamic and predictive EC2 Auto Scaling policies

• Troubleshoot failed scaling events and target group health checks

• Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework compute principles

• Automate instance setup using launch templates and user data scripts

• Monitor compute metrics using Amazon CloudWatch alarms

Requirements:

• Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts

• An active AWS Free Tier account for hands-on exercises

Final Project: You will design and deploy a complete fault-tolerant web application architecture. This includes placing an Application Load Balancer in public subnets, attaching an Auto Scaling group spread across two Availability Zones, configuring custom metric alarms, and executing a simulated load stress test to verify real-time automated scaling and recovery.
