EC2 Project Series
This is a 5 part project series that will help to gain familiarity with EC2 and associated resources. It will progress throughout the series from theoretical understanding to real world application using industry best practices.
By the end of the series you will be familiar with EC2 instances and their associated resources. You will also understand basic AWS networking and how to deploy EC2 instances to private subnets. You will deploy a NGINX web server, Host a Flask App with Load Balancing in a custom VPC, Automate with Infrastructure as Code, and deploy containerized applications with ECS and Fargate.
