Build High Availability Web Server: EC2, Auto Scaling, and ALB

In this lab, you’ll deploy a scalable and highly available web server environment using EC2, Auto Scaling groups, and an Application Load Balancer. This challenge-based exercise is designed for hands-on practice; step-by-step instructions will not be provided.

Cloud Lab Overview

Amazon EC2 is a core AWS service that provides scalable compute capacity in the cloud. It enables users to run virtual machines with flexible configuration and scaling options. With Auto Scaling and Load Balancers, EC2 supports fault-tolerant and high-availability architectures.

In this Challenge Cloud Lab, you’ll be tested on your ability to configure a resilient and scalable EC2-based web server infrastructure. You’ll apply best practices around instance provisioning, traffic distribution, and automatic scaling—without step-by-step instructions.
