Summary

So it's been a really long but interesting chapter and I really hope that you have got to learn about Amazon ELB as well as Auto Scaling as much as possible. Let's quickly recap all the things covered so far in this chapter.

To begin with, we talked about the importance of Auto Scaling and how it proves to be super beneficial when compared to the traditional mode of scaling infrastructure. You then learnt a bit about AWS Auto Scaling and its core components. Next, you learnt about a new service offering called Elastic Load Balancers and saw how easy it is to deploy one for your own use. Toward the end of this chapter, we also deployed our first Launch Configuration and an Auto Scaling Group and, finally, topped it all off with some simple steps to help verify and test the entire setup.

In the next chapter we are going to dive into the amazing world of databases and learn how AWS provides some simple and easy to use database services, so stay tuned for lots more coming your way!
