Lab challenges are hands-on labs with the gloves off. You jump into an auto-provisioned cloud environment and are given a goal to accomplish. No instructions, no hints. To pass, you'll have a limited time to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and get the checks that inspect the state of your lab environment.
Application Load Balancers are capable of advanced HTTP request routing. This is a powerful feature that makes deploying solutions in AWS more flexible.
Candidates aiming for AWS certification should be comfortable creating Elastic Load Balancing target groups and configuring Application Load Balancers.
This hands-on lab challenge will test your practical ability to build out a solution in a production-like AWS environment. You will be presented with a task and set of requirements you must fulfill to pass the challenge.
This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied way, substituting multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
