Amazon EC2, Auto Scaling & ELB for Professionals on AWS is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed to teach you how to build, deploy, and manage scalable, resilient, and highly available applications on the AWS cloud. This training goes beyond the basics—equipping you with practical, real-world skills in compute services, scaling strategies, load balancing, and cost-optimized cloud architecture design.
You’ll explore Amazon EC2 in depth, learning how to launch, configure, and manage instances, work with AMIs, and optimize networking and storage. From there, you’ll master Auto Scaling to automate capacity adjustments and maintain application performance under varying workloads. The course also provides detailed instruction on Elastic Load Balancing (ALB, NLB, GW-LB, CLB), ensuring you understand how to distribute traffic efficiently across multiple instances.
Through hands-on exercises and scenario-based learning, you'll gain the operational confidence needed to design and maintain production-grade AWS environments.
