I tried linking EC2 instances with ALB
Introduction
Hemanth of Alliance Department here. In this blog, i tried linking EC2 instances by creating an ALB.
EC2
It is a service offered by Amazon Web Services for cloud computing (AWS). By offering scalable cloud computing power through EC2, users can rent virtual computers on which to execute their own apps. When managing and scaling applications in the cloud, EC2 offers a flexible, affordable, and simple solution.
ALB
ALB stands for Amazon Load Balancer, a load-balancing service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Incoming application traffic is automatically split out over numerous targets, including EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses in one or more Availability Zones. ALB boosts the capacity of your application to manage incoming traffic while also assisting in ensuring high availability and fault tolerance for your applications.
Demo
Go to Console search for EC2 and click launch instance
Give the name to EC2 server
Now creating the KeyPair
Click on edit in Network section and edit name of security group
Adding security group rule
In advanced details type down the following code in the User Data section, which creates a server and HTML page
Keep others settings default and click launch
Again launching a new Intance
Give the name
Choose the above created keypair
Choose the websecurity group created in the network section
In advanced details type down the following code in the User Data section, which creates a server and HTML page
Keep others settings default and click launch
Now in the load balancing click on target group
Next click on create target group
Give a target name
As we have created index.html typing it down and make changes in threshold and interval
click next and click on create target group
Now creating a load balancer
Choosing the application load balancer
Give the name and select all the mappings
Selecting the security group created and your target group
Keeping other settings as default and click create load balancer
Click on ALB created
copy the DNS name
when you access the link the following response is displayed
Conclusion
Hope with this you get an idea of how to link EC2 instances with ALB. Thank you for seeing the blog till the end.
