Summary
This session will introduce Amazon Web Services (AWS) for Linux engineers.
During this one and half hour session, we will build a web scale application
from the ground up on AWS. We will begin with an introduction to Amazon Linux.
Then we will examine a few options to deploy and configure an application in the
Cloud. Next we will add a load balancer and auto scaling to dynamically add and
remove capacity in response to load. Finally, we will externalize static content
and add a CDN to take load off our application.
