Summary

This chapter has been one of the most involved in the entire book so far, and you’ve accomplished a lot. During the course of this chapter, you learned about AWS, set up your own cloud server, set up Auto Scaling to ensure that your server is able to automatically heal from disasters, and even set up a load balancer to enable routing between multiple instances. Make sure you take some time to let all this knowledge sink in before continuing on, and I also recommend you spend some additional time with AWS before moving on to the next chapter.

Speaking of the next chapter, we’re going to work with AWS again, but this time, we’re going to focus on learning Terraform, which is an awesome tool that will enable us to automate the building of our cloud resources from the ground up. It’s going to be a lot of fun.
