Use of AWS ELB Test
The AWS ELB assessment evaluates a candidate's ability to design, configure, and maintain ELB instances for different applications, troubleshoot issues, and ensure high availability and scalability.
The AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) test assesses a candidate's knowledge and skills in deploying and managing application traffic across multiple EC2 instances. The test evaluates the candidate's proficiency in managing, monitoring, and scaling the infrastructure of an organization's applications in the cloud. The test covers six critical sub-skills: configuring Elastic Load Balancer, managing routing policies, handling EC2 instances, SSL termination, load balancing algorithms, and handling traffic spikes.
Assessing these sub-skills is critical as a successful candidate must possess strong technical skills, excellent problem-solving abilities, and expertise in configuring and deploying ELB for maintaining and scaling high-performance applications. A candidate who can effectively manage and monitor an organization's cloud-based infrastructure can ensure that the application runs smoothly with minimal downtime, reducing customer dissatisfaction and protecting the company's reputation. An ELB test identifies candidates who are proficient in ELB, possess excellent communication skills, and can handle and prioritize multiple tasks under pressure.
