Provisioning Cloud Resources (CV0-004)
Welcome to the Provisioning Cloud Resources lab. In this lab, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a comprehensive suite of computing services designed to meet diverse workload requirements efficiently and cost-effective. For example, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides a wide range of instance types tailored to specific use cases, providing flexibility in selecting the right balance of compute, memory, and storage resources. With AWS Auto Scaling, users can dynamically adjust the number of EC2 instances in response to changing demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost optimization. Additionally, AWS Load Balancing services distribute incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances, enhancing fault tolerance and scalability while improving the overall availability of applications and services.
In this lab, you will explore EC2 instance options and the advantages of auto scaling and load balancing.
