What you'll do

In this challenge, you will configure automated snapshots of the Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes on your web servers.

  1. Create tags for your volumes
  2. Create an Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) lifecycle policy that uses an hourly schedule
  3. Verify that a snapshot was created
  4. Replace the root volume on a web server by using a snapshot

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
