How to Create Load Balancers and Auto Scaling Groups in AWS

TLDRLearn how to create load balancers and auto scaling groups in AWS to ensure high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance for your applications.

Key insights

🔀Load balancers distribute traffic among different servers, ensuring high performance and availability.

💡Auto scaling groups automatically create or terminate servers based on traffic demand, optimizing resource allocation.

🌐Using load balancers allows you to have a single domain name for your application, simplifying management and scaling.

👨‍💻Creating load balancers and auto scaling groups in AWS involves selecting the appropriate load balancer type, configuring security groups, and defining target groups.

After setting up load balancers and auto scaling groups, it may take some time for the changes to propagate and the application to be fully available.
