EC2 Auto Scaling & Elastic Load Balancer | AWS in Action

Very often, a single EC2 instance is not enough. It might, for example, get overwhelmed by incoming traffic. AWS Auto Scaling and the Elastic Load Balancer service can help with that! Auto Scaling simplifies the process of scaling horizontally and Elastic Load Balancing ensures that incoming load / traffic is distributed evenly across available instances.
