For your documentation, you should describe the steps used to successfully complete this assignment, provide screen capture documentation of those steps and discuss any challenges you faced and how you overcame those challenges.

You should also show screen captures and a complete description of your application and you successfully executing it.

Document the server instance names you created and the time spent for each instance. You should be able to monitor the number hours and minutes spent on each server.

Finally, and most importantly, be sure to shut down each instance to avoid any additional charges to your account.
