Auto scale and load balance dockerized app on AWS - Part 2/3
In Part 1, we dockerized a nodejs application and hosted it in AWS ECR. We also deployed it in an AWS EC2 instance. Additionally, we used AWS parameter store to host environment variables of the nodejs application. In this part 2, we will use EC2 auto scaling to automatically scale our application which automatically spins up EC2 instances of our app. Later we will use load balancer to handle incoming requests and point to our app. This is part 2, Autoscale and Load Balance a dockerized app on AWS Lets pull up our sleeves and start
