This scenario provides a solution for a growing online retail business that wants to implement a scalable and highly available infrastructure. The Blog outlines the steps required to set up a scalable infrastructure on AWS EC2, ensuring the performance and availability of the website as the business grows.

Implementing a Scalable and Highly Available Infrastructure for a Growing Online Retail Business with AWS EC2

Scenario: A small online retail business is experiencing rapid growth and needs to scale their web application to handle increased traffic. The business currently has a single server hosting their web application, and is worried about the server becoming overwhelmed and causing downtime for their customers.

Solution: To handle the increased traffic, the business can utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 to deploy a scalable and highly available infrastructure for their web application. The following steps can be taken:

Create an EC2 instance to host the web application.

Create an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to distribute incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances. This will ensure that the web application can handle increased traffic without becoming overwhelmed.
Use Amazon Auto Scaling to automatically increase or decrease the number of EC2 instances based on demand. This will ensure that the infrastructure can quickly scale to handle spikes in traffic.
Store the web application's data in Amazon RDS or Amazon DynamoDB to ensure that the data is highly available and scalable.
Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the infrastructure and receive alerts when certain thresholds are met, such as when the number of active EC2 instances decreases below a certain level.

By using AWS EC2 and related services, the business can create a scalable and highly available infrastructure for their web application, allowing them to handle increased traffic and provide a better experience for their customers.
