Summary and quiz
Get a refresher on AWS’s high availability and load balancing services, and then take a short quiz to validate your knowledge.
We'll cover the following...
In this chapter, we learned about high availability and load balancing. High availability and fault tolerance are key principles of cloud-native application design. AWS enables developers to build applications that automatically respond to infrastructure changes or traffic fluctuations using services like Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) and Auto Scaling groups (ASGs). These services help distribute load, minimize downtime, and recover quickly from failures.
Let’s do a quick recap of what we learned in the chapter.
Designing for high availability: Designing for high availability means architecting systems to stay operational even when components fail. This includes deploying across multiple Availability Zones, using health checks, automatic failover, and decoupled components. ELB and ASG are central to this strategy, allowing applications to ...
