In this challenge, you will establish a secure network environment for an application service that will be hosted on AWS. First, you will enable the assignment of public IP addresses to a subnet in a virtual private cloud (VPC). Next, you will create a network access control list (ACL) for the public subnet, and then you will create a network ACL for the private subnet. Finally, you will create new Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that use the network ACLs, and then you will test access to the EC2 instances through the network ACLs. Note: Once you begin the challenge, you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your challenge. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
