Overview/Description
One of the key benefits of cloud computing in general and AWS in particular is the ability to build fault tolerance into everything you build. The globally dispersed and virtual nature of AWS means that it is possible to have redundant everything, if you manage your services right. In this course, you will learn about elasticity and scalability along with the all-important fault tolerance of web applications on AWS. The course also covers ways of managing data via Elastic Block Store, and log and backup management. This course is one of a series that prepares you for Amazon's AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate certification.
