Fix a Broken Network Path in AWS

In this lab, you will troubleshoot a broken AWS network path by comparing a misconfigured VPC environment to a known-good baseline and applying only the minimal changes required to restore connectivity. You will inspect route tables, security groups, and related networking components to identify the root cause, then restore connectivity without changing the overall architecture. By the end of this lab, you will validate both the environments are reachable and working as expected.
