Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create target group, Define health checks, Create load balancer, Create listeners, Associate target group with listener
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first create the target group and define its health checks to know which instances will receive traffic. Then create the load balancer and listeners, and finally associate the target group with the listener so traffic is forwarded to the healthy targets.
- ✗
Create load balancer, Create listeners, Create target group, Define health checks, Associate target group with listener
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the load balancer and listeners require a target group to route traffic to. Creating them before the target group will result in configuration errors or missing associations.
- ✗
Create target group, Create load balancer, Create listeners, Define health checks, Associate target group with listener
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because health checks should be defined as part of the target group creation, not deferred. Defining them later may cause the target group to be created without proper health check settings, leading to potential misconfiguration.
- ✗
Define health checks, Create target group, Create load balancer, Create listeners, Associate target group with listener
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because health checks are a property of the target group and cannot be defined independently before the target group exists. The target group must be created first to define health checks within it.
