Integrating Cloud Infrastructure for Scalable Web Applications: Insights from AWS, EC2, and S3

The study delves into AWS's intricacies to reveal its latent capabilities and emphasise the revolutionary advantages it offers to both people and corporations. By analysing various AWS features, this study investigates the integration of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop scalable web applications, focusing on the configuration and deployment of key AWS components such as Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Auto Scaling, and Simple Storage Service (S3). Two experimental scenarios are conducted: a control scenario with a fixed number of EC2 instances and a dynamic scaling scenario utilising SLAstic for automatic horizontal scaling. The experiments employ m1. Large EC2 instances, monitoring performance metrics like CPU utilisation and response time through Amazon CloudWatch. The outcomes reveal that the dynamic scaling approach significantly enhances resource optimisation and application performance.
