Summary
In this chapter, we reviewed some of the strategies you can follow for achieving scalability for your cloud application. We emphasized the importance of both designing your application architecture for scalability and using AWS infrastructural services to get the best results. We followed this up with an extended section on setting up auto scaling for our sample application.
In the next chapter, we will shift our focus to strategies to achieve high availability for your application. We will review some application architectural principles and AWS infrastructural features to implement high availability. We will also include a hands-on section that will walk you through the process of implementing high availability for our sample application.
