=== Purpose / Objectives of Lab 8 ===
In this lab, you will learn how to create virtual networks and a firewall that can be applied to any resource by using AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). We'll be using AWS Academy - Cloud Foundations Module 5 for this lab. For more information about these technologies, refer to the Lab 8 lectures and slides.

While you are working through this lab, it is highly recommended that you write down general notes and commands to help you remember how to do this lab. You may use your notes during tests, so fill it out accordingly!

If you encounter technical issues, please contact your professor via e-mail or in your section's Microsoft Teams group.

=== Minimum Requirements ===
Before beginning, you must have:
# Successfully completed [[OPS705_Lab_7 | Lab 7]]
# Watched the Lab 8 video lecture
# Read through the Lab 8 slides, and have them handy as a reference for concepts
# Your AWS Academy login credentials

= INVESTIGATION: Amazon Relational Database Service =
In this investigation, you'll set up an AWS VPC, including several virtual networks and firewall rules. You will then use this VPC to launch a web server via EC2.

== Part 1: Logging in to AWS Academy - Cloud Foundations ==
To create your web app, perform the following steps:
# Log in to AWS Academy here: https://awsacademy.instructure.com/login/canvas
# Under '''Courses''', choose ''AWS Academy Cloud Foundations''

== Part 2: Module 5, Lab 2 - Build your VPC and Launch a Web Server ==
# Navigate to ''Modules'' in the left-hand menu bar.
# Scroll down to ''Module 5 - Networking and Content Delivery''
# Click on ''Lab 2: Build your VPC and Launch a Web Server''
# Complete. This module has 4 tasks in its' Academy instructions. You will take screenshots at the end of each task to showcase your progress:
# Task 1:
## Screenshot 1: Detailed view of the new '''Lab VPC''' in the ''Your VPCs'' section of the AWS console.
## Screenshot 2: List view of your two new subnets in the ''Subnets'' section of the AWS console.
# Task 2:
## Screenshot 3: In ''Route Tables'', the view from clicking the checkmark next to '''Public Route Table'''. Two subnets should be listed in the '''Explicit subnet associations''' table below.
## Screenshot 4: In ''Route Tables'', the view from clicking the checkmark next to '''Private Route Table'''. Two subnets should be listed in the '''Explicit subnet associations''' table below.
# Task 3:
## Screenshot 5: Detailed view of your new VPC security group called '''Web Security Group'''.
# Task 4:
## Screenshot 6: Instance summary view of your new EC2 instance called '''Web Server 1'''.
## Screenshot 7: Your new web server site loaded in a browser.

== Part 3: A Note About Resource Usage ==
Module labs only need to be ended to shut down all resources. Remember, your created work is '''not''' preserved after you end the lab!

== Part 4: Exploration ==
While our focus is quite narrow in this lab, it's important to understand how Virtual Private Cloud works in AWS. Watch through the rest of the Module 5 VPC material in our Cloud Foundations classroom (Sections 1-4).

A second AWS Academy classroom is available to you, '''AWS Academy Learner Lab - Foundation Services'''. Here, you can explore VPCs (along with many other services), create instances that will remain for the duration of the class, and try things out. I highly encourage you to take a look and play around! Read through the sidebar readme doc for service restrictions.

= Lab Submission =
Submit to Blackboard's ''Lab Submission'' section '''full-desktop screenshots''' (PNG/JPG) of the following:
# Task 1, Screenshot 1: Detailed view of the new '''Lab VPC''' in the ''Your VPCs'' section of the AWS console.
# Task 1, Screenshot 2: List view of your two new subnets in the ''Subnets'' section of the AWS console.
# Task 2, Screenshot 3: In ''Route Tables'', the view from clicking the checkmark next to '''Public Route Table'''. Two subnets should be listed in the '''Explicit subnet associations''' table below.
# Task 2, Screenshot 4: In ''Route Tables'', the view from clicking the checkmark next to '''Private Route Table'''. Two subnets should be listed in the '''Explicit subnet associations''' table below.
# Task 3, Screenshot 5: Detailed view of your new VPC security group called '''Web Security Group'''.
# Task 4, Screenshot 6: Instance summary view of your new EC2 instance called '''Web Server 1'''.
# Task 4, Screenshot 7: Your new web server site loaded in a browser.

Labs aren't marked until screenshots have been submitted.
