In this Challenge Lab, you will create a scalable and resilient website that contains a dashboard for monitoring. First, you will create security groups for a load balancer and an Auto Scaling group, and then you will create a launch template that you will use to create Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) instances. Next, you will create an Auto Scaling group, and then you will attach the Auto Scaling group to a new Application Load Balancer. Finally, you will connect to the website through the load balancer, and then you will create a CloudWatch dashboard to monitor the load balancer. Note: Once you begin the Challenge Lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your Challenge Lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the Challenge Lab before you start.
