The client has a two-tier web application in its AWS Cloud environment. The web application consists of two Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPC) peered together with the Application Load Balancer (ALB) nodes hosted in “VPC-ALB” and the web servers (targets) hosted in “VPC-Target”. To resolve the issue reported by client, you will need to troubleshoot all the tasks in this lab.

However, we have included hints at the end of every task to help you troubleshoot the issues. You must be familiar with the following:
- All the components of a VPC and the ALB.
- How the traffic flows in & out of a VPC.
- How to allow and restrict traffic in a VPC.
- How the request flows from the client to the ALB.
- How an ALB routes the requests to the backends.
