  2. Configure health checks for the target group
  3. Create a listener that will route requests from the load balancer to the target group
  4. Configure health checks for your load balancer by using Route 53
  5. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic to notify you when a failure occurs
  6. Monitor health checks while simulating a web server failure
