08_03. Create Security Group for Load Balancer

This course jumps straight into showing you the exact steps you'll need to setup the infrastructure to deploy a web-application into production using Blue/Green deployment.

I have built an example web-application in Ruby on Rails tuned for production which we'll use to provision an EC2 instance, then bake instance to Amazon Machine Image (AMI). We'll then use that AMI in a Launch Configuration and Create an Auto Scaling Group (ASG). We'll than tie our ASG to an Application Load Balancer (ALB). We'll use CodeDeploy for Blue/Green Deployment and automate deployment on git push with CodePipeline.

Built For Real World Use

This is an end-to-end course and its intended for real use. I have setup multiple startups on this exact configuration. If you are using Heroku, Linode or Digital Ocean and are thinking of moving over to AWS but wanted the course that's going to help you move over as fast as possible than this is the course for you.

Automated Deployment It was important that I show you how to setup automatic deployment on git push so you have the same productivity as you would with Heroku.
