EC2 Auto Scaling & Elastic Load Balancer | AWS in Action

Very often, a single EC2 instance is not enough. It might, for example, get overwhelmed by incoming traffic. AWS Auto Scaling and the Elastic Load Balancer service can help with that!
Auto Scaling simplifies the process of scaling horizontally and Elastic Load Balancing ensures that incoming load / traffic is distributed evenly across available instances.

I was struggling to get my first load balancer with auto-scaling running but this video really helped out. Thank you very much!

Hi, do you have the plan to create a vlog about AWS ECS? Topics about scaling docker containers and instances in ECS, and sharing EC2 resources between containers. Also will be nice to explain auto-deploying on the ECS when a new docker image appears on ECR.

After creating an ASG, I had a problem with load balancers. 17:30 The DNS name wasn't working. It was because the load balancers had the default security group for some reason. I allowed port 80 and it worked good after that.

[@brentmarquez9057]

Can anyone recommend resources for learning how to set all this up as Infrastructure as Code?

[@user-im5xx5jm4r]

great video, thanks but I got a error why I can't not connect to ec2 instance using ssh, using amazon instance connect, which does not require an ssh private key?

[@nanateinumondestanley7819]

Probably because you didnt't add ssh connection to the security group when creating it.

[@user-ul6ub6uy2n]

you terminated the first instance before creating the austoscale termplate, did you started it again?

you know you can schedule videos right? why spamming the subscription feed of all your subscribers?

[@academind]

"Spamming" the feed with new content? We assume that subscribers want to be informed about new videos. The decision if you watch the video or not is up to you though.

@@academind i would be happy to get notification of new videos of the channels i am subscribed to, but to have all my feed full of videos from one channel that uploaded 20 videos at once, thats 100% spamming...
