Course Description

In this challenge, you will balance the traffic between multiple EC2 instances of an application. First, you will create a key pair, and then you will create a security group. Next, you will create two EC2 instances, and then you will create a target group. Finally, you will register the web servers with the target group, and then you will create an elastic load balancer that uses the target group. Note: Once you begin the challenge, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
