In this lab, you learned how to deploy various resources needed for a prototype web application in your Amazon VPC. However, the architecture that was created in this lab does not meet AWS Cloud best practices because it is not an elastic, durable, highly available design.

You learn how to configure your architecture for redundancy, failover, and high availability in the next lab
