Course Description

In this challenge, you will create a web server template. First, you will create a key pair, and then you will create a security group. Next, you will create an EC2 instance that uses a user data script to install an Apache web server, and then you will add an additional EBS volume to store data. Finally, you will create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the web server instance, and then you will test the new web server.
