Steps

Created VPC for Lab

Create Web Server AMI

Launch an Amazon Linux Instance (T2-micro)

Connect via SSH

Install httpd

Create an index.html file in /var/www/html. (can just be a text file with your name and SYS-360)

Start httpd and verify you can view page (may need to update Security Group to allow HTTP)

Create a Amazon Machine Image from the Instance and call it something you will remember

NOTE MAKE SURE AMI CREATION FINISHES

Terminate Instance

Create Launch Template

Use your AMI

T2-micro for Instance Type

Networking: You need to make sure that your VPC, subnets, and security group are all set correctly.

Create an Auto-Scaling Group

Again: Networking: You need to make sure that your VPC, subnets, and security group are all set correctly.

• NOTE: Must select 2 subnets in same VPC, but different Zones

Create a New Load Balancer that uses HTTP checks and is accessible from Internet

• Public subnets

Create a new Target Group for the Instances that will be launched

Group size

• Desired # of instances of 3, minimum # of instance of 2, and maximum # of instances of 5

Scaling policy - use tracking and set something and change to a low value - it might allow you to see some auto-scaling

Add tag for "Name" (cap important) and a value that will help id your instances

When group is created - it should fire everything up! (Load Balancer, Instances...)

Testing

As your systems come up - check the health checks through the Target Groups
