Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Create target group → Create load balancer → Register targets → Associate target group with listener → Configure health checks

First create the target group, then the load balancer, register targets, associate the target group with the listener, and configure health checks.

Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Create target group → Create load balancer → Register targets → Associate target group with listener → Configure health checks
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the target group must exist before the load balancer can reference it, targets must be registered before health checks can be configured, and the listener must be associated with the target group last.
✗
Create load balancer → Create target group → Register targets → Associate target group with listener → Configure health checks
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the target group must be created before the load balancer, as the load balancer requires the target group ARN during creation.
✗
Create target group → Create load balancer → Configure health checks → Register targets → Associate target group with listener
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because health checks can only be configured after targets are registered; otherwise there are no targets to check.
✗
Create target group → Register targets → Create load balancer → Associate target group with listener → Configure health checks
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the load balancer must be created before associating the target group with the listener, and the listener cannot reference a non-existent load balancer.
