Over to you!
Your consulting agency has a new mission for you! You’re going to be working for the company Megarecord, which has just set up a network hosted in AWS. You’ll be spending a few days there as a cloud engineer, with a team, including developers, who have deployed part of the infrastructure to run their applications.
The network infrastructure is composed of:
A VPC.
Two public subnets across two Availability Zones.
Two private subnets across two Availability Zones.
Two NAT gateways in the private subnets.
Two route tables.
The developers have also set up:
An instance running Apache server.
An Auto Scaling group, for the instance.
An internet-facing load balancer.
All of this is deployed by a single CloudFormation stack.
The developers don’t have a great deal of knowledge of AWS—their system works, but if a fault occurs, they won’t be notified and they won’t react. They want you to help them design a mechanism to display their system metrics on a screen that they have set up in their office. Their director is also keen to receive email alerts when the system is overloaded.
To Do This:
Take:
One or more screenshots of a dashboard you’ve set up in Amazon Cloud Watch.
A screenshot of an email alert you’ve received after setting up an alarm for one of your metrics.
Tips
Launch an infrastructure using CloudFormation before starting your dashboards.
