Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

Lab Overview

In this final lab for the East US region, you will install IIS on EAST02 using Azure’s Run Command feature. By completing this setup, you’ll have two fully functional web servers in East US (EAST01 and EAST02), both capable of serving HTTP traffic behind a load balancer. This configuration parallels the West US region, resulting in a multi-region, load-balanced web infrastructure.

Learning Objectives

By completing this lab, you will be able to:

• • Use the Run Command feature to remotely install IIS on EAST02.
  • Confirm installation success by viewing the command output in Azure.
  • Achieve a symmetric web server setup across both East US VMs.
  • Prepare for global load balancing scenarios by ensuring consistent configurations in each region.

Exam Relevance

These final steps are crucial for:

• • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Validates your competence in remote administration and ensuring consistent app deployments.
  • AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Reinforces designing and deploying high-availability, multi-region web applications with consistent configurations.
