(vi) INSERT INTO transactions (amount,description) VALUES
('400','groceries');
(vii) SELECT * FROM transactions;

IV. type 'exit' to exit from MySQL client

(12) modify the 'DBconfig.js' file in the app tier folder and upload the app tier folder to s3

• cd ~/app-tier
  npm install
  pm2 start index.js

• pm2 list

• pm2 logs

• pm2 startup

• pm2 save

• curl http://localhost:4000/health

• curl http://localhost:4000/transaction

(14) Create AMI for the App tier instance
(15) Create Target Group
(16) Create Load Balancer for App tier
(17) Launch Templates
(18) Create Auto Scaling Group
(19) update the ngnix file and upload it along with the WebApp to S3
(20) create an instance for WebApp
(21) connect the instance to SSM
(22) Create AMI for the Web tier instance
(23) Create Target Group
(24) Create Load Balancer for Web tier
(25) Launch Templates
(26) Create Auto Scaling Group
