+
+## Challenge scenario
+
+Your company is ready to launch a brand new product! Because you are entering a totally new space, you have decided to deploy a new website as part of the product launch. The new site is complete, but the person who built the new site left the company before they could deploy it.
+
+## Your challenge
+
+Your challenge is to deploy the site in the public cloud by completing the tasks below. You will use a simple Apache web server as a placeholder for the new site in this exercise. Good luck!
+
+1. Create a Compute Engine instance, add necessary firewall rules.
+
+    - In the **Cloud Console**, click the **Navigation menu** > **Compute Engine** > **VM Instances**.
+    - Click **Create instance**.
+    - Set the following values, leave all other values at their defaults:
+
+        | Property | Value (type value or select option as specified) |
+        | --- | --- |
+        | Name | `INSTANCE_NAME` |
+        | Zone | `COMPUTE_ZONE` |
+
+        ![Lab Variable](./images/lab_variable.webp#center)
+
+        ![VM Create](./images/vm_create.webp#center)
+
+    - Under **Firewall** check **Allow HTTP traffic**.
+
+        ![Firewall](./images/firewall.webp#center)
+
+    - Click **Create**.
+
+2. Configure Apache2 Web Server in your instance.
+
+    - In the **Cloud Console**, click the **Navigation menu** > **Compute Engine** > **VM Instances**.
+    - Click on the SSH button next to `INSTANCE_NAME` instance.
+    - Run the following command:
+
+        ```bash
+        sudo su -
+        ```
+
+        then run:
+
+        ```bash
+        apt-get update
+        apt-get install apache2 -y
+
+        service --status-all
+        ```
+
+3. Test your server.
+
+    - In the **Cloud Console**, click the **Navigation menu** > **Compute Engine** > **VM Instances**.
+    - Access the VM using an https address. Check that your URL is http:// EXTERNAL_IP and not https:// EXTERNAL_IP
+    - Verify **Apache2 Debian Default Page** showed up.
+
+## Congratulations!
