      • https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/anders-aws-bucket/awsdemo/HelloAWS2.zip
  • Configure more
    • High availability
    • Instance
      • type t3.nano
    • Capacity
      • min 3, max 6 servers
    • Network
      • create environment inside VPC
      • select all subnets for ELB og EC2
      • make load balancer public available (public IPs for LB and servers)
  • Create environment (takes aprox 5 mins, have a beer or a cofee...)

Things to try and see:

• Check settings for loadbalancer and autoscaling on EC2-console
