Question: I need a detailed walkthrough for this project. The second deliverable for your final project is a proof of concept lab for U Inc's leadership

I need a detailed walkthrough for this project.

The second deliverable for your final project is a "proof of concept" lab for U Inc's leadership that will show that their current applications will be able to run on AWS. This proof of concept lab will show the CEO what AWS is capable of! The CEO would like to see a load-balanced web application that emulates the application they have in their datacenter.

For your final project lab submission, you must submit evidence of having configured the following using the AWS Academy Learner Labs.

  • A security group called "lastname FP SG"
    • The security group must allow connections from any IP address
    • The security group must allow the following applications:
      • SSH
      • HTTP
      • HTTPS
      • Remote Desktop/RDP
  • Two EC2 instances (micro sized) running the OS Windows Server 2019
    • In AWS, the servers must be named lastnameFP1 and lastnameFP2
    • Attach 5GB of EBS storage to each instance
    • The EC2 instances must be added to the security group you created
  • Within each EC2 instance, you need to setup the web servers
    • You will need to connect to your instance using RDP (click here for a how-toLinks to an external site.)
    • Within Windows, the servers must be named LastnameFP1 and LastnameFP2
    • The EBS storage must be added as the D: drive and the drive must be formatted and named DataLastname (click here for a how-toLinks to an external site.)
    • IIS must be installed on both Windows servers (click here for a how-toLinks to an external site.)
    • A web page must be added to IIS on both servers that says "Lastname's U Inc. Proof of Concept Lab - Semester - Year" (click here for a how-toLinks to an external site.)
  • A load balancer called "lastnameFPLB" that allows unencrypted web traffic to link to the server
    • Include a screenshot of the "Targets" for the load balancer that shows both nodes healthy
    • Include a screenshot showing accessing your webpage using the load balancer URL.
  • An internal zone Route 53 DNS entry pointing at the Load Balancer DNS hostname using a domain name of "IT320SemesterYear.com" (e.g. IT320Fall2039.com)
  • CloudWatch metrics showing the resource utilization of CPU and the network interface on both EC2 instances\
  • A DynamoDB Table that contains the contact information of ASU., Inc's customers
    • You only need a screenshot of the table in the AWS UI, you do not need to display it

As a note, every lab screenshot must reflect the naming conventions above. Any deliverables without the naming conventions in the screenshots will not have credit reflected. Additionally ALL screenshots must include your name on it either due to a named resource or because your AWS login is visible in the top right of the page. Any screenshots without your name will not be counted toward your grade.

Notes / Tips & Tricks

  • You must log in to AWS Academy Learner Labs and use that lab for this project!
  • Video explaining the lab learning environment and how to connect to EC2 instances using RDPLinks to an external site.
  • This assignment effectively combines techniques learned from the labs in this class except this time you are using a persistent AWS account and performing all of the tasks in one lab.
  • Make sure to review this page as well as the rubric to ensure you get full credit. If you do not provide evidence of having configured an item on the list or did not have your name on a screenshot, you will lose credit!
  • If you are having trouble when trying to RDP to your servers:
    • Do you have RDP rules in your security groups?
    • Is your server in a subnet with a VPC Route table that has a default route to the internet gateway? (0.0.0.0/0 to igw-#######)
    • Do not use session manager.
    • When RDP'ing to your servers, put ".\" in front of your username (.\administrator). This makes it so you are not trying to use your local credentials and are using the server credentials. You will have this option under "more choices".
  • If you timeout when trying to connect to your websites:
    • Are both webservers working?
    • Can you access the websites locally on the webservers themselves?
    • Do you have security groups in place?
    • Are the right ports open?
    • Are the servers registered as targets in the load balancer?
  • For your DNS entry:
    • You will need to use the old Route 53 interface in order to create the entries
    • This will be an internal zone, you do not need to try to register it and make it external
    • You will not be able to use the DNS entry and are not expected to make it work
