The premise is that you have stateless app servers running behind 5 an ELB serving traffic. 6 7 To simplify the example, this intentionally ignores deploying and 8 getting your application onto the servers. However, you could do so either via 9 [provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html) and a configuration 10 management tool, or by pre-baking configured AMIs with 11 [Packer](http://www.packer.io). 12 13 After you run `terraform apply` on this configuration, it will 14 automatically output the DNS address of the ELB. After your instance 15 registers, this should respond with the default nginx web page. 16 17 As with all examples, just copy and paste the example and run 18 `terraform apply` to see it work.
