Hello @Arnab_7 I couldn’t reproduce the error. This step is to generate a stress test through the cloudshell. Could you continue from part 5 (Ehancing security) and the following steps up to part 7.2.3 (Performing Auto Scaling). You do not need to perform anything from the cloudshell for this part and submit to see if it pass the grader(should be 80/100). Thanks
