Implementing Resilient Compute and Auto Scaling

This chapter will provide a comprehensive guide to implementing resilient compute and auto scaling solutions on AWS. We will delve into the significance of designing systems that can withstand failures by incorporating redundancy and fault tolerance into compute resources. We will also explore various factors that can disrupt system stability, including resource issues, service disruptions, application/code issues, security threats, and environmental factors. After, we will learn about key principles and strategies for addressing these factors, such as multi-Availability Zone (AZ) deployments, redundant environments, and stateless architectures, providing practical examples and architectural illustrations.

The next stage will be to introduce AWS Auto Scaling as a solution for dynamic resource management and explain its key components and benefits. We will further discuss cost-saving strategies using Spot Instances and Reserved Instances...
