Challenge

Run an Experiment

Run an experiment to test the hypothesis that if an instance reboots, httpd will start automatically.
Challenge

Observe the System
Observe the behavior of the system, paying attention to the following:
- After the server has rebooted, does httpd restart successfully?
- Are the load balancer targets healthy or not?
- Is the service still accessible through the load balancer?
- Is there anything that you should change to improve resilience?
