Week 01 - Wedensday 6-25 - 4 hours - 6/30 total this week

Overview: 

Still trying to get a working instructor machine going. 

Goal:

Set up an instructor machine so I then can integrate the strace scenario.

Accomplished

- Troubleshooted through many errors.

- Read Edrurange code more in depth to understand what it is doing.

- Understanding Ruby better.

- Set up VPC, Internet Gateway, Subnet, Route Table and Network ACL in the East region.

Problems:

- My default AWS region was US-West while Edurange software uses US-East by default. I believe this is why the scenario failed to boot.

- Amazon provides a default VPC, Subnet, etc.. which got deleted by the edurange software when I was cleaning up scenarios so I had to go in and manually recreate these which is probably for the best because I understand them more now.

- Poor documentation for command line tools I am using. Was trying to assign public IP addresses to instances created on the command line but the docs for the command line tools i'm using are not fully correct.

Future

- Create instructor instance in the US-East region and run the software.
