Enabling AWS VPC Flow Logs with Automation
In this lab, we'll solve a real-world scenario where we want to automate the creation of VPC Flow Logs whenever we create a new VPC. We'll accomplish this with a CloudWatch rule and a Lambda function. [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/linuxacademy/la-aws-security_specialty/tree/master/Enabling-VPC-Flow-Logs-with-Automation)
