Summary

In this chapter, we delved into implementing resilient compute and auto scaling solutions on AWS. We emphasized the significance of designing systems to withstand failures by incorporating redundancy and fault tolerance into compute resources. We also explored various factors that can disrupt system stability, including resource issues, service disruptions, application and code issues, security threats, and environmental factors. Then, we discussed key principles and strategies for addressing these factors, such as multi-AZ deployments, redundant environments, and stateless architectures, providing practical examples and architectural illustrations. After that, we introduced AWS Auto Scaling as a solution for dynamic resource management, explaining its key components and benefits. Furthermore, we discussed cost-saving strategies using Spot Instances and Reserved Instances, offering insights into their advantages and effective management. The importance of monitoring and maintaining...
