Description

AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that provides managed instances of Chef and Puppet to automate your application management operations.

The main building blocks of OpsWorks include:

stacks: Top-level building blocks. Used to model your applications with the help of layers.
layers: Separate levels of a stack to separate the concerns of your application. Layers can be categorized by responsibility such as web, application, and database layers
instances: EC2 instances that are associated with your stack layers to perform the necessary tasks at each level of your application
apps: Code that you want to be deployed and ran on your instances in a layer.

In this lab, you will utilize these building blocks to create and deploy a simple PHP application using AWS OpsWorks.
