AWS Scaling and Cloud Architecture Fundamentals

Moving beyond basic cloud concepts is essential for building resilient, production-ready applications. This written course guides you through intermediate AWS services and architecture patterns required to handle real-world traffic. You will transition from launching simple virtual servers to designing automated, self-healing, and secure cloud environments. What you'll learn: - Configure AWS Auto Scaling groups to dynamically adjust resources based on demand. - Understand Application Load Balancers to distribute traffic and ensure high availability. - Apply multi-tier architecture patterns to isolate database and application layers. - Explore container deployment basics on AWS using ECS and Fargate. - Learn foundational Infrastructure as Code concepts to define resources programmatically. - Practice securing network traffic using Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) and security groups. The course starts with fundamental architectural principles and network security concepts before moving into automated scaling, load balancing, and modern containerized deployments. This course is designed for beginners who have a basic grasp of cloud terms and want to build practical, scalable infrastructure. No advanced prerequisites are required.
