 ### Running commands in parallel with tmux
 
 [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) can be used to run commands on multiple compute instances at the same time. See the [Running commands in parallel with tmux](01-prerequisites.md#running-commands-in-parallel-with-tmux) section in the Prerequisites lab.

-### Enable HTTP Health Checks
-
-A [Google Network Load Balancer](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/network) will be used to distribute traffic across the three API servers and allow each API server to terminate TLS connections and validate client certificates. The network load balancer only supports HTTP health checks which means the HTTPS endpoint exposed by the API server cannot be used. As a workaround the nginx webserver can be used to proxy HTTP health checks. In this section nginx will be installed and configured to accept HTTP health checks on port `80` and proxy the connections to the API server on `https://127.0.0.1:6443/healthz`.
-
-> The `/healthz` API server endpoint does not require authentication by default.

-Install a basic web server to handle HTTP health checks:
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install -y nginx
-```
